This mountain, to the right of Table Rock Mountain, is a Raven rookery and it is not uncommon to see ravens gliding the thermals from this sight.
Near the spot where I took the photographs, a special program is planned for September 20th. Called the Hawk Watch Program, it is designed for maximum viewing of migrating raptors. Try to imagine seeing hawks, kites, falcons, and perhaps eagles soaring below. I can't wait!!!

That's some wonderful looking country. Reminds me of all those landscapes in the old western movies. Excellent photography too.
I LOVE THESE PHOTOS THEY REMIND ME OF MY MANY TRIPS TO THE SMOKIES AND THE NC MTS.
It would be so cool to look down on the raptors.
Gorgeous, gorgeous.
I would love to get over to your neck of the woods ... but it's not likely to happen any time soon. So it is very nice that you post these pictures ... so I can see it all through your eyes.
Such beautiful photos of "your" mountains. It must be great to live there. You must be sure to show us the views once the leaves change in the fall.

I can only imagine what that would look like Carolyn! Just beautiful.
I am lovin' your mountains views!!
All your photos of the mountains are awesome. How sad to read about the pollution from the mills and how they want to regulate it. The hawk watch will be fun and exciting.
The Carolina mountains look wonderful--I would LOVE to be there in the middle of it all.
That sounds like a great program. What a wonderful area to watch these powerful, magestic birds.
