Description

Every year during spring and fall, raptors join other birds in migrating to and from breeding grounds. Grand Canyon has served as an important monitoring site for this migration since 1991. The mission of HawkWatch International is "to conserve our environment through education, long-term monitoring, and scientific research on raptors as indicators of ecosystem health." Take a Minute Out In It to join volunteers as they record hawks passing over the Canyon, a daily task during September and October.
