2006 Report 

2009 Final Analysis & Report 

The Florida Keys is an exciting location to watch migrating hawks, especially Peregrine Falcons. Large numbers of Merlins, American Kestrels, and Peregrine Falcons pass through the Keys each fall en route to their southern wintering grounds. Seventeen different raptor species migrate through the Keys including incredible numbers of Peregrine Falcons, and other species such as Short-tailed Hawks and Swainson’s Hawks that are rarely seen at other hawk watches in eastern North America. Unfortunately, due to personnel and funding limitations, this site was discontinued after the 2008 migration season.
