Can you support spring migration?
Spring migration allows us to learn more about the winter survival of migrating raptors. Combined with fall migration research, we can better understand raptor populations and the threats they face. People like you make it possible for us to keep this pulse on the health of raptors across North America.
This spring is extra special as HWI welcomed the Tubac, Arizona HawkWatch into the migration network. Will you join us in supporting our newest hawkwatch? For just $250, you can sponsor a full day of research, helping us understand more about southwestern specialties like the Common Black Hawk.
