\nMany types of birds migrate between North and South America every year \u2013 and raptors are no exception. Although migrating raptors may be seen nearly anywhere in the Americas during their travels, some areas see particularly massive groups where the landscape forces multiple routes together. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tPanama is part of the Mesoamerican Land Corridor, the most important migration pathway in the Americas. More than two million raptors can be seen as they migrate through Panama each year, making it the third largest raptor migration in the world (the other two largest are in Eliat, Israel and Vera Cruz, Mexico).\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\tWe understand some aspects of migration, but much of the process remains a mystery. Here\u2019s what we know:\n<\/em><\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\tSeasonality\n<\/h3>\n

\n\tMigratory raptors, like other migratory birds, travel great distances every year to take advantage of seasonal resources. Generally, the following seasons correspond to those in North America (though a few species follow the same pattern with South American seasons instead).\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\tSummer<\/strong> is the breeding season when birds nest in high-resource areas. These locations contain plenty of food to raise their young and longer days than in the tropics, providing more time for hunting.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFall<\/strong> is when the weather starts to change: days get shorter, it gets colder, and food becomes less abundant so birds begin leaving their breeding grounds and heading towards their wintering grounds.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWinter<\/strong> usually has very few resources available in temperate climates, so raptors move to warmer areas in Central\/South America where food is comparably more abundant (though less abundant than in breeding grounds during the summer, causing high levels of competition). \n<\/p>\n

\n\tSpring<\/strong> is when birds begin to return to their breeding grounds. This migration is normally smaller than the fall because many birds \u2013 especially juveniles \u2013 die while overwintering due to competition for resources.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\nHow do they travel?\n<\/h3>\n

\n\tTraveling takes an enormous amount of energy, with some birds covering thousands of miles in a matter of weeks! The specific distance traveled depends on the species: Broad-winged Hawks, for example, travel an average of 4,350 miles, while Swainson\u2019s Hawks travel an average of 14,000 miles.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tUnlike smaller migratory birds, which migrate mostly at night, raptors almost exclusively migrate during the daytime, avoiding obstacles that impede their flight and taking advantage of features which allow them to save energy:\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\tMigratory birds of prey like these Mississippi Kites may form large groups known as \"kettles\" while taking advantage of useful air currents.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\tThermals<\/strong> are areas of rising warm air created when the sun heats up the land. By soaring in these thermals, raptors can easily gain altitude and save energy.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tUpdrafts<\/strong> create similar conditions as thermals, but are created when wind strikes a ridgeline and is pushed upwards. These updrafts may be more consistent over an area than thermals, allowing birds to save energy over a distance by following landscape features.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tObstacles,<\/strong> like large bodies of water which don\u2019t create thermals, are avoided by raptors because they require too much effort and don\u2019t provide areas to land and rest in case they get tired or encounter a storm.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLeading lines<\/strong> are geographical features like coastlines and mountain ranges that birds follow as a sort of \u201cmap\u201d to ensure they\u2019re traveling the correct direction.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
