Little Round Top hawk watch is situated in the piedmont of the White Mountains with a scenic panoramic view, Little Round Top is the oldest hawk watch site in New Hampshire. The daily monitoring of the 1960s and 70s extended through the migration period into November. Recently, however, daily coverage is limited to September. Volunteers are needed to extend the season.
