Although Hawk Hill is closed, we will have GGRO Raptor Docents stationed at the Annex on fog-free weekend days in September and October, from 10 am to 2 pm, tracking the hawks in the sky, and telling the migration story to any drop-in visitors ready to listen.  Raptor Docents can help you learn to identify hawks from falcons, Sharpshins from Cooper’s, and vultures from planes.

The Annex is the large pull-out on Conzelman Road just about a quarter mile east of the gate that blocks the upper stretch of Conzelman up to Hawk Hill.  Drive westward from Highway 101 about ¾ mile and watch on your left for the only pull-out with four wooden benches.  This is a wonderful place to see raptors of all species collect above Kirby Cove before making the southbound crossing.

Please park carefully and considerately, completely off the road and in a manner that will accommodate other cars to fit.  If you visit the Annex on a weekday, you may run into closures or delays due to construction even on the currently open parts of Conzelman and McCullough Roads.  Drive carefully and be patient!  Please see the Project Headlands website for maps and timelines of the delays and closures for cars, bikes, and pedestrians, including weekly updates.

Please note:  Fleet week 2010 will be October 7-12.  Especially on those weekend days, the roads and overlooks get extremely busy and crowded with cars and visitors in the Headlands.  It's best to avoid that weekend and not have to deal with the congestion!
