Manzano Mountains

Raptor Migration Project

BACK

HWI and the Cibola National Forest are working to learn more about raptors and their migration through this central New Mexico range. HWI began standardized, annual migration counts in the Manzano Mountains in 1985, followed by a banding project in 1990. Annual counts typically range between 5,000 and 7,000 migrants of up to 18 species. The project runs from 15 August through 5 November each year.
