A hawkwatch is a systematic and organized effort to collect standardized migration count data about diurnal raptors. Records include species identities (including color morph, sex and age classes when possible), numbers quantities, and behaviors of seasonal migrant hawks; data on weather and observation conditions; and a measure of sampling effort that includes number of observers and hours of observation. Observations at a hawkwatch are conducted on a regularly repeated basis (daily or nearly daily) from a single monitoring site.
