Habitat Measurements at Hawk Mountain

On Tuesday August 19th, Millersville University, including myself and Angela Fetterolf, helped Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in taking and recording habitat measurements at Broad-winged Hawk Nest Sites.  Habitat measurements included taken diameter breast of height of nest trees, nest tree height, amount of overstory and understory cover around nest trees, the amount of understory rock cover at nest trees, the diversity of tree species around the nest tree sites and the size of these tree species.
