This wouldn't have been possible without all of you who kept your eyes on the skies looking for him, and the staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly throughout the summer and fall.

It's a Commissary Ridge HawkWatch reunion! Last week, the 2022 Commissary Ridge crew reunited back where they all met. Hawks were watched, stories swapped, and undoubtedly the soundtrack of the Eurovision Song Contest was on repeat. If you’ve served on a migration crew, have you ever returned with your old crewmates? We’d love to see your pics in the comments!

When you think of the Manzano Mountains HawkWatch, it is nearly impossible to not think of Walt Lehman. First joining as a ba**er at our site in 2000, Walt served on our Manzano Mountains crew for 16 straight falls and for eight springs at the former Sandia Mountain HawkWatch. He even found the time to serve on our board of directors. To this day, Walt continues to hike up and help our crews with our banding efforts. Thank you, Walt, for all you have contributed towards the conservation of raptors!

To celebrate our 40th anniversary, we're taking a hike down memory lane to celebrate our shared success and remember all the people and places that helped us get to where we are today. Check out the 40th anniversary hub to stay up to date on all the ways you can celebrate with us: https://hawkwatch.org/40th-anniversary-hub/

This bird was handled for the purpose of scientific research under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey and in accordance with all state permitting requirements.

Have you heard of the Secretarybird? This Endangered species is a showstopper, with looks that make it stand out from the rest of the raptors we know and love. Unsurprisingly, the Secretarybird is also very evolutionarily distinct, making their survival even more important for biodiversity. To understand their declines in South Africa, we’ve been studying the Secretarybird since 2023. Meet this year’s team to see who is behind this essential work: https://hawkwatch.org/meet-the-crew-conserving-secretarybirds-this-season/

These birds were handled for the purpose of scientific research in accordance with all local permitting requirements.

A perfect cavity for a perfect bird!

The Eastern Screech-Owl has the broadest distribution of the three North American species. occurring across much of the eastern and central US. They are also larger than the Western and Whiskered, averaging 5% and 38% larger, respectively.

But why don’t they know I am friend?!

Reminder: owls are EXTREMELY cute, but they are also territorial predators ready to smack down. So next time you’re out birdwatching, show your appreciation from afar, especially during nesting season. Blowing kisses is allowed and encouraged.
