The view from Hawk Mountain

How the noted bird sanctuary came to be and those that were involved in its early running and conservation programs - most notably the indomitable Rosalie Edge, without whom the sanctuary simply would not exist. Basic facts on several of the species found there, but they're found scattered among various anecdotes, so it isn't 'x has a 10 foot wingspan' or something. Also some on the early history of the area as well, and I thought it kind of cute that they even noted the original Schaumbach cabin (where folks used to meet coming in) is haunted. Never said why though. Probably best to leave out the 'innkeeper went Sweeney Todd and turned over a dozen people into sausage' story.
