      If you would like to get detailed up to date information about migration please go to our Bird Cast website and look at the tools and links there.   Also if there are particular raptors or species of birds you want to know if they migrate and where to you can look them up on our All About Birds Website. Put in the species name and look at the range map.

      This is the time when they migrate to usually warmer climates.

      Yes, they probably were. In fall, raptors gather in groups called kettles. Hope this helps and happy birding!
