Wie der Tag abläuft

An early start with scopes provided. Best in September and early October.

An early start with a naturalist who counts raptors professionally. Scopes provided, and the sort of commentary that makes the difference between seeing a bird and understanding what it is doing.

Best season

September and early October, when the raptor migration is moving through. The rest of the summer is quieter but still good for woodland species.

Pace

Slow. This is standing and watching, not walking.

Once the air warms, the raptors start using it. This is where the migration counting happens.

What we saw, what it means, and where it is going.

Late morning, with the rest of the day free.

Häufige Fragen

Do I need my own binoculars?

No. We bring binoculars and a spotting scope. Bring your own if you prefer them.

Is it worth it outside the migration season?

It is a different day — woodland species rather than raptors overhead. Good, but if the migration is what you want, come in September.
