Department of Environmental Conservation: What's Happening on the Hudson River in October

October is one of the very best months of the year for hiking. The weather is cooler and less humid, and visibility is generally much better now than in summer. The High Peaks of the Adirondacks, the summits of the Catskills, and the trails of the Hudson Highlands offer spectacular scenery, but one may have to fight the leaf-peeping hordes during the drive to a trail head in those popular areas.
In addition to the tourists, everything else seems to be moving through the Hudson Valley en masse. It is a birder's delight as migrating birds make their way south, down the Hudson River flyway. While most of the broad-winged hawks moved through last month, there are still many other hawks, eagles, and falcons to come.
