A group of 11 educators with students ranging in age from elementary to high school are in our learning community and eager to introduce these phenomena to their classrooms.<\/p><p>This trip\/workshop marked our first of two site-based workshops where the group can both experience raptor migration but also work collaboratively in person sharing ideas, drafting lessons and furthering their content to make it ready for students. The first year-long phase of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmana.org\/mrmtn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MRMTN<\/a> project culminates at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmana.org\/50thconference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HMANA 50th anniversary conference<\/a> in Duluth, MN where a subset of teachers will share about the program and samples of their curricula.<\/p><p>A less than ideal weather forecast forced some changes to the schedule but it worked out for the best as the first major stop for migration turned out to be superb for Sharp-shinned Hawks, Broad-winged Hawks and Rough-legged Hawks. Not to mention, 50 degrees and sun along Lake Superior certainly helped with the appeal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-31a14a7\" data-id=\"31a14a7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b703cb elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6b703cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawksonthewing.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Rough-legged-Hawk-1-c-JOSH-HAAS-683x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4771\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawksonthewing.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Rough-legged-Hawk-1-c-JOSH-HAAS-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.hawksonthewing.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Rough-legged-Hawk-1-c-JOSH-HAAS-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hawksonthewing.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Rough-legged-Hawk-1-c-JOSH-HAAS-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hawksonthewing.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Rough-legged-Hawk-1-c-JOSH-HAAS-350x525.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.hawksonthewing.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Rough-legged-Hawk-1-c-JOSH-HAAS.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Rough-legged Hawk, (c) Josh Haas<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e6ac50c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e6ac50c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c7e8eb\" data-id=\"4c7e8eb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44e949d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44e949d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Whitefish Pt. in Michigan&#8217;s Upper Peninsula is one of my favorite places to experience raptor migration.

caravanned the final few miles to the point, sky-bound raptor numbers grew as we approached. Upon getting out of our cars, the group was surrounded by Broad-winged and Sharp-shinned Hawks in every direction; a great start before hitting the raised platform. Basking in the sun as we overlooked Lake Superior, we spent a couple hours emersed in the wonder that is hawk-watching. Educators theorized as to why the birds were taking certain flight paths, how to differentiate species and what was causing them to be so low. Experiencing how they view the phenom was inspiring. The winds were not perfect for the water crossing and they were stiff. The positive to stiff winds, however, is it tends to put birds, especially the smaller raptors closer to ground level. Being on the raised platform, this put Sharpies super low where plumage and behavior was a joy to experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fdb67c

morning began with rain which gave us an opportunity to begin working as a group to invest in learning plans and share ideas collaboratively.\u00a0 Educators talked about conservation, migration and the birds themselves as they thought about geography, biology, physics and cultural impacts that are relevant and close to home for students in Michigan. We are excited to see each of their learning plans take shape and the creative ways these educators will apply raptors and migration in their classrooms.<\/p><p>As the work began winding down, the rain started to move out and we spent the remainder of the day at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mackinacraptorwatch.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mackinac Straits Raptor Watch<\/a>. This showed participants a different side of hawk-watching where field marks were lacking and silhouettes ruled the sky. This created a more thorough study of these birds. The highlight, however, came by way of\u00a0 Raptor Watch ambassador Ed Pike with freshly trapped\/banded Hawks to share with the group up-close. It was a fabulous way to close our two days of hawk-watching before ending in the classroom with focus on drafting individual trip reports and finishing lesson plan outlines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-765b271 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"765b271\"
