The Brown Thrashers

Raptorthon Date: May 9, 2026

On Saturday May 9th, The Brown Thrashers will be participating in our 17th annual Raptorthon for the Hawk Migration Association (HMA)! This year, we will be doing our event at my favorite place in NH, Pondicherry National Wildlife Refuge. It also happens to be World Migratory Bird Day! What a perfect way to celebrate migratory birds by spending the day birding and raising funds for raptor conservation!

Please support the Brown Thrashers Raptorthon Team (Julie, Phil, Laurel, Alden and our dog Maggie). All donations support the great work being done at HMA – supporting the monitoring network with annual grants, supporting our monthly Lunch & Learn series: engaging raptor research presentations, sustaining our HawkCount.org database and the Raptor Population Index. Thank you for your support!
