Mackinac Straits Raptor Watch is dedicated To The Research And Conservation Of Raptors In The Straits Of Mackinac.
Mackinac Straits Raptor Watch conducts scientific research on migrating birds of prey in the Straits of Mackinac area of Michigan. They monitor and count migrating raptors and band owls, both in Spring and Fall.
This research aims to support raptor conservation and inform and inspire the residents and visitors of northern Michigan about these magnificent birds. They record and report data on hawks, eagles, kites, falcons, and owls and share them with professionals and the public.
The MSRW research the numbers and timing of associated Non-raptor migrants in the same region if funding is available. For example, in the fall of 2020, Mackinac Straits Raptor Watch also counted waterbirds migrating over the Straits and measured and tagged southbound migrating Monarch butterflies (aka “Super Monarchs,” or “super generation Monarchs”).
