Our 2016 fall migration monitoring has ended but you can still catch up on how the season went at the Daily Hawk Count and Radiotelemetry blogs. To find out how you can volunteer in the 2017 season, send an email with your contact info to ggro@parksconservancy.org.
For over 30 years, the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO) has been a program of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in cooperation with the National Park Service.
The GGRO’s mission is to inspire the preservation of California raptor populations. The GGRO was formed in the early 1980s to track the Golden Gate migration, an annual flight of tens of thousands of hawks, eagles, falcons, and vultures, birds collectively called “raptors.”
