The Brown Thrashers

Raptorthon Date: May 4, 2025

On Sunday, May 4, The Brown Thrashers will be doing our 16th annual Raptorthon for the Hawk Migration Association (HMA)! This year, we will be celebrating birds and spring migration at the Herrick’s Cove Wildlife Festival in VT. https://amasvt.org/herricks-cove-wildlife-festival

HMA will have a table at the event where we’ll be connecting with the public and other conservation organizations, but the Brown Thrashers will also be birding! Early May is an ideal time for spring migrants and our location right along the banks of the Connecticut River will be perfect for warblers, ducks and all types of migrants…we’ll be counting them all!

Please support the Brown Thrashers Raptorthon Team (Julie, Phil, Laurel and Alden Brown). All donations support the great work being done at HMA – supporting the monitoring network with annual grants, supporting our monthly Lunch & Learn series: engaging raptor research presentations, sustaining our HawkCount.org database and the Raptor Population Index.

Thank you for your support!

Team Leader: Julie Brown
