Hawk Mountain sanctuary is near Drehersburg, PA; should be marked on
most highway maps---go west from Allentown.  Also try to find a copy
of Pettingill's ``Gird to Bird Finding (East)''; it gives full
directions to Hawk Mountain.

Better yet, Pettingill's book gives directions to an excellent
site not far from Hawk Mountain that is less crowded: see his
directions to Bake Oven Knob.  The people that go there are
pretty expert; one of them wrote a book on hawk watching (forgot
his name, though).
