Bird Watching on Squaw Peak Lookout
"We could not have asked for more beautiful weather or for a more beautiful place to spend a few hours on a Saturday morning looking for migrating hawks. The view over Utah Valley and the Lake was well worth the quarter mile hike up the hillside from Squaw Peak Road to a knoll where other Birders had seen a Broad-winged Hawk a few days before. The hills all around were blazing with fall colors at their peak, the sky was blue and the air clear and crisp. What a morning!
We brought chairs to sit on and settled down to wait for hawks rising up the hillside on thermals in front of us. We noticed a few birds in the bushes around us but no hawks. We waited and finally they started coming in. A Sharp-shinned Hawk came up the gully. A Red-tail Hawk was soaring further out. Then several Cooper's Hawks in steady progression every few minutes came up the thermal circling close and then heading south. Then the sharp-shinned, then the Kestrels. A couple of Turkey Vultures circled lower down around the Squaw Peak overlook parking area."
