\n\tFor many around the world, seeing a wild raptor is truly special. There is no substitute for watching a hawk soaring over an open field or spying a falcon perched in a tree. Yet at certain times of the year, in some areas, rivers of these birds can be seen passing through the sky as millions of hawks, vultures, and other raptors migrate between North and South America.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile monitoring migratory songbirds with another project, ADOPTA's field team noticed exceptionally large concentrations of raptors were migrating past Bocas del Toro in northwestern Panama. We realized that the Talamanca mountains and Caribbean sea were creating a natural bottleneck in the birds\u2019 migration routes, and started looking for an ideal location to establish a long-term monitoring project in the area. In early October 2021, Karl Bardon, an experienced hawk counter from the United States, accepted an invitation to start monitoring the raptor migration in Bocas Ridge and the project officially began.\n<\/p>\n

\nAlmost 2 million raptors were observed in the fall 2021 HawkWatch, confirming this area as an exceptional count location. Since then, as many as 5 million birds have been observed migrating through Bocas del Toro in a single season!<\/em><\/h4>\n

\n\tAfter the first season\u2019s success, we have expanded the monitoring to include three counting sites at the Bocas Ridge Hotel & Residences, Valle de Agua, and Gavil\u00e1n hill. Together with our research team, we have been training local interns \u2013 including young indigenous women \u2013 to help with the monitoring. The income they receive directly supports the local community, many of whom lack electricity and\/or running water, and provides individuals the agency to take an active role in protecting their local environment.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n\tCommunity Outreach & Education\n<\/h2>\n

\n\tMost of our volunteer hawk counters are women from the indigenous Ng\u00e4be-Bugl\u00e9 people. By assisting in this project, they are both being empowered to contribute valuable scientific insights and helping to support their families with the humble stipend we are able to give them.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, many members of the local community \u2013 including one of the families who hosts our team \u2013 have no electricity or running water. The income from this project directly helps support the local economy; helping the people living here and increasing support for conservation at the same time.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
