Waggoner’s Gap a historic birdwatching

experienceBY TRAviS KELLARTHE [email protected]

Watching for birds of prey at Waggoner’s Gap is a hobby that allows spectators to par-ticipate in what Paul Zeph, director of con-servation 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 lon-gest 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 rais-ing young or browsing the ridges.

“Depending on what side the wind is blow-ing will determine the side that the birds are flying on,” Zeph said.

The season spans from August to De-cember 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 sun-shine 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 Sanc-tuary Trust, and in 2001, an additional 20 acres encompassing the site was deeded to the Pennsylvania Audubon for preserva-tion.

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.”

By KriSTEN rOWECUMBERLAND VALLEY VISITORS BUREAU

Usually healthy eating and exercise are pushed out of people’s minds un-til after the holidays. This year don’t let yourself wait to get healthy and instead use the resources in Cum-berland Valley to start feel-ing better now.

For those looking to eat healthier there are a num-ber of farmers markets, as well as healthy eating establishments that stay open through the fall and winter months in Cumber-land Valley.

Cumberland Valley’s sig-nificant agriculture indus-try provides opportunities for residents and visitors to obtain local fruits, veg-etables and other farm-fresh products through our farmers markets, farm stands, CSAs and other retailers. There are many great benefits to buying lo-cal, including:

• Supporting the local economy and farms, keep-

ing wealth within our re-gion and creating potential jobs.

• The higher nutrient levels retained in food and fuller flavor due to the foods reaching you faster.

• Locally produced food is fresher than foods packed in trucks and shipped for several days.

• Buying locally allows you to ask the farmer what products or sprays (if any)

are used and what they feed their animals.

• By protecting local farmland we are preserving open spaces, biodiversity and natural ecosystems.

For more information pick up the Local Food, Farm & Outdoors Attrac-tions Guide at the Cum-berland Valley Visitors Center, 33 W. High Street, Carlisle.

By KriSTEN rOWECUMBERLAND VALLEY VISITORS BUREAU

Usually healthy eating and exercise are pushed out of people’s minds un-til after the holidays. This year don’t let yourself wait to get healthy and instead use the resources in Cum-berland Valley to start feel-ing better now.

For those looking to eat healthier there are a num-ber of farmers markets, as well as healthy eating establishments that stay open through the fall and winter months in Cumber-land Valley.

Cumberland Valley’s sig-nificant agriculture indus-try provides opportunities for residents and visitors to obtain local fruits, veg-etables and other farm-fresh products through our farmers markets, farm stands, CSAs and other retailers. There are many great benefits to buying lo-cal, including:

• Supporting the local economy and farms, keep-

ing wealth within our re-gion and creating potential jobs.

• The higher nutrient levels retained in food and fuller flavor due to the foods reaching you faster.

• Locally produced food is fresher than foods packed in trucks and shipped for several days.

• Buying locally allows you to ask the farmer what products or sprays (if any)

are used and what they feed their animals.

• By protecting local farmland we are preserving open spaces, biodiversity and natural ecosystems.

For more information pick up the Local Food, Farm & Outdoors Attrac-tions Guide at the Cum-berland Valley Visitors Center, 33 W. High Street, Carlisle.

For those looking to eat healthier there

well as healthy eating establishments that

stay open through the fall and winter months in Cumberland Valley.

Waggoner’s Gap a historic birdwatching

experienceBY TRAviS KELLARTHE [email protected]

Watching for birds of prey at Waggoner’s Gap is a hobby that allows spectators to par-ticipate in what Paul Zeph, director of con-servation 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 lon-gest 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 rais-ing young or browsing the ridges.

“Depending on what side the wind is blow-ing will determine the side that the birds are flying on,” Zeph said.

The season spans from August to De-cember 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 sun-shine 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 Sanc-tuary Trust, and in 2001, an additional 20 acres encompassing the site was deeded to the Pennsylvania Audubon for preserva-tion.

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.”
