Unforgettable Adventures in Photo by Paul Zeph, courtesy of the Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau
Waggoner’s Gap, located on Route 74 on the north side of the Cumberland Valley, has been attracting hawk watchers for almost 80 years.
Waggoner’s Gap a historic birdwatching experience By Travis Kellar The Sentinel tkellar@cumberlink.com
Watching for birds of prey at Waggoner’s Gap is a hobby that allows spectators to participate in what Paul Zeph, director of conservation for Pennsylvania Audubon, calls “the fastest-growing outdoor recreational sport.” Referring to Waggoner’s Gap a “highway for birds,” Zeph says that the site is the longest continuous ridge in Pennsylvania and that the narrowness of the ridge enables watchers to see birds on either side of the ridge. The air currents also enable the birds to “ride” them, which Zeph said occurs with birds that are young, tired from raising young or browsing the ridges. “Depending on what side the wind is blowing will determine the side that the birds are flying on,” Zeph said. The season spans from August to December and the ideal time to be watching is from 10 a.m. to 2 or 3 p.m., Zeph says. He notes that a pair of binoculars and patience are the most important tools for new bird watchers. “It takes some practice to begin to identify the hawks by species,” Zeph said, adding that a pocket guide to assist in identifying birds would also be beneficial to newcomers. He also thinks that simply being outdoors is reason enough to visit Waggoner’s Gap.
“Don’t see birds? Enjoy the view, the sunshine and the peace,” Zeph said. “I can’t think of a better way to spend a couple hours on a beautiful afternoon.” Waggoner’s Gap, located on Route 74 on the north side of the Cumberland Valley, has been attracting hawk watchers for almost 80 years. In the 1930s, birds of prey were thought of as pests; however, people soon began to watch the skies as the birds soared across. In a single season, more than 1,000 hours of watching and counting birds takes place at Waggoner’s Gap. The land at the watch site was eventually purchased by the Reineman Wildlife Sanctuary Trust, and in 2001, an additional 20 acres encompassing the site was deeded to the Pennsylvania Audubon for preservation. Not only have visitors watched for various species of birds but meticulous daily records have been kept from 1952 to the present. The records track how many birds of each species as well as weather conditions, wind speed and each day’s sightings. In a single season, Waggoner’s Gap’s website reports that the site averages about 19,000 migrating raptors. Zeph says that the number of raptors seen each year serves as “a good indicator of the health of our ecology.” For more information about Waggoner’s Gap and access to both current and past counts, visit http://www.waggap.com/Index.html.

Unforgettable Adventures in Photo by Paul Zeph, courtesy of the Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau
Waggoner’s Gap, located on Route 74 on the north side of the Cumberland Valley, has been attracting hawk watchers for almost 80 years.
Waggoner’s Gap a historic birdwatching experience By Travis Kellar The Sentinel tkellar@cumberlink.com
Watching for birds of prey at Waggoner’s Gap is a hobby that allows spectators to participate in what Paul Zeph, director of conservation for Pennsylvania Audubon, calls “the fastest-growing outdoor recreational sport.” Referring to Waggoner’s Gap a “highway for birds,” Zeph says that the site is the longest continuous ridge in Pennsylvania and that the narrowness of the ridge enables watchers to see birds on either side of the ridge. The air currents also enable the birds to “ride” them, which Zeph said occurs with birds that are young, tired from raising young or browsing the ridges. “Depending on what side the wind is blowing will determine the side that the birds are flying on,” Zeph said. The season spans from August to December and the ideal time to be watching is from 10 a.m. to 2 or 3 p.m., Zeph says. He notes that a pair of binoculars and patience are the most important tools for new bird watchers. “It takes some practice to begin to identify the hawks by species,” Zeph said, adding that a pocket guide to assist in identifying birds would also be beneficial to newcomers. He also thinks that simply being outdoors is reason enough to visit Waggoner’s Gap.
“Don’t see birds? Enjoy the view, the sunshine and the peace,” Zeph said. “I can’t think of a better way to spend a couple hours on a beautiful afternoon.” Waggoner’s Gap, located on Route 74 on the north side of the Cumberland Valley, has been attracting hawk watchers for almost 80 years. In the 1930s, birds of prey were thought of as pests; however, people soon began to watch the skies as the birds soared across. In a single season, more than 1,000 hours of watching and counting birds takes place at Waggoner’s Gap. The land at the watch site was eventually purchased by the Reineman Wildlife Sanctuary Trust, and in 2001, an additional 20 acres encompassing the site was deeded to the Pennsylvania Audubon for preservation. Not only have visitors watched for various species of birds but meticulous daily records have been kept from 1952 to the present. The records track how many birds of each species as well as weather conditions, wind speed and each day’s sightings. In a single season, Waggoner’s Gap’s website reports that the site averages about 19,000 migrating raptors. Zeph says that the number of raptors seen each year serves as “a good indicator of the health of our ecology.” For more information about Waggoner’s Gap and access to both current and past counts, visit http://www.waggap.com/Index.html.
