WRI’s Summer Event!

Thank you to those who joined us for HawkWatch 2012!!!

We’re already excited for next year’s program!

Montana Raptor & Golden Eagle Expedition

Our biologists conduct a month-long migration field study in Lewis and Clark County, Montana each Fall. This is a fantastic Golden Eagle research opportunity for members of the public to get hands-on experience with large raptors in a genuinely natural setting. It’s never too early to inquire about next year’s trip!

WRI data supports that Golden Eagles are indifferent to helicopters. Read more about our scientific findings and become educated on this hot issue
