The cycle of nature is in constant flux; the seasons change; the numbers of predator and prey vary; organic population controls such as disease are turned on and off; the tide advances and recedes. Water will always level itself, and the earth has evolved to find equilibrium. Of course, that was prehuman and things have changed ever since we dammed our first river.
As we have struggled to understand and predict, often attempting to prevent, earth's inevitable progress, we've begun to realize that nothing happens in isolation; everything that happens in Nature, ripples outward with reactions.
Our world is populated with concerned individuals and organizations, working silently, attempting to monitor these reactions.
Hawks Cliff is located along the coast of Lake Erie, east of Port Stanley, and the Hawk Cliff Foundation is one of those organizations; their science is the banding and tracking of migratory birds. The Hawk Cliff Foundation (HCF) was incorporated in 1996 as a non-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to the conservation of migratory raptors, passerines and Monarch butterflies of North America through scientific study, public education and appreciation of their fall migrations. Hawks Cliff Weekend is an annual open-house of sorts, giving the public an opportunity to see some birds-of-prey up close, observe the tagging of monarchs and generally learn first hand, from the pros. The more we learn, the more respectful we can be.
