Migration Kick-off Event with Uinta Brewing Co

Fall migration is almost underway, and this year is special. We’re starting our 40^th-anniversary events with a Migration Kick-Off at Uinta Brewing Company, a Salt Lake brewery committed to craft and building community.

As we bid farewell to south-faring raptors and welcome our winter residents to northern Utah, join HawkWatch International (HWI) to meet our Raptor Ambassadors, sip on an exclusive HWI x Uinta brew, and compete in fun team games and trivia for prizes! You do not need to be a raptor expert to participate.

When: Thursday, August 13, 2026 at 5:00-8:00 pm

Where: Uinta Brewing Company

Tickets: $60 per table (includes admission for 2–6 people*)

*This is a 21+ event

Uinta Brewing has crafted an exclusive HawkWatch International anniversary beer for the event and will donate a portion of all beer sales to support our migration monitoring research.

Games begin at 6:00 p.m. Teams will consist of your table (2–6 people), though you don't need to have your full team assembled when you register.

So, gather your kettle of talented raptors and build your dream team! Bring someone who's…

1. As fast as a Peregrine Falcon
2. As wise as a Great Horned Owl
3. A natural leader like a female Harris's Hawk
4. As strategic as a Merlin
5. As confident as a Bald Eagle

Reserve your table today! Registration is limited.

Not interested in joining a team for games? This event is free and open to the public . We’d love for you to stop by to meet the birds and enjoy a beer with us. We will also be selling HWI merchandise, so come grab your gear for the migration season!
