Raptorthon Date: April 13, 2025 (Back-up Date: April 14, 2025)
This year, the Pisgah Peregrines team will consist of Vicky Burke (Site Coordinator) and Amy Jackson. For a change of pace from previous years, we will explore nearby South Carolina farmlands and woodlands for Raptors and Songbirds. We’ll do this on April 13 (with a rain date of April 14). This will be a great time for the area as many of the over-wintering Raptors will not quite have left, Northward bound, and a good handful of Raptors will have started to arrive for the new Spring season. American Kestrel and especially Northern Harrier are our winter Raptor highlights; Osprey and Broad-winged Hawk will have recently arrived back to the Carolinas. We hope to observe the 10 local Raptor possibilities along with numerous Songbird species.
Please contribute to our Raptorthon and help us support HMA (Hawk Migration Association) and their mission. We hope to see as many folks as we can up at Mt. Pisgah Hawkwatch again for the Fall 2025 season!
