It is said Turkey Vultures and Red-Tailed Hawks merely shift more than Migrate. Ok, I might call the Red-tailed move a shift because they just aren't seen farther south into South America I think it is. But Turkey Vultures can bee seen in large kettles all across the sky when we travel West to Nashville and again in spring. This is no small movement. And the numbers get huge on the border watches. So what does it look like in comparison in the Panama region. It is easy to find out with

At the time of my writing the server is a bit overloaded with people catching up on their reports . So I will have to come back to this. Or maybe you can. Compare the rise in Red-tailed Hawks counted at sites south of the border to the rise in Turkey Vulture counts south of the border. It because of data that I can make an entirely unsubstantiated claim, off the top of my head, right or wrong, and you can go and find the truth. Nowdays, I almost demand you find out for yourself. Put the numbers to the test but be fair. Consider there are more than one flyway for migrating Hawks. vast areas of difference in ecological differences in the nesting grounds of various birds leaving out of the North. And the numbers from the East of the US don't directly compare to the numbers out of the Western counts. Most specifically, to the kinds of raptors which can be found in the west vs the east, how their competition for food and other life blood needs will differ. Just always be fair.
Here's the report:
