Join watch sites throughout North America during International Hawk Migration Week (IHMW) to enjoy the annual spectacle of fall raptor migration and help raise awareness of hawks, hawk migration, and the HMANA network of sites that make Hawkcount an invaluable resource.
This particular week in mid to late September was chosen due to the sheer number of raptors that are counted across the Americas. Last year, 113 sites throughout North, Central, and South America tallied over 700,000 migrating raptors during IHMW.
This year over 50 sites will be displaying their free weatherproof HMANA IHMW banners and celebrating with festivals, workshops and special raptor events. We hope you’ll join us! Here are a few ways to take part:
For more information on how to take part, please contact HMANA raptor migration and programs director Julie Brown.
Thank you to our official IHMW sponsor, Opticron Optics Company for supporting hawkwatching and making banners possible for the raptor monitoring network!
