Raptors are birds and most birds migrate. As with all birds, each species has variations. Twice a year, many raptors migrate, especially the diurnal raptors. Some owls, such as the snowy owl, migrate south in the winter.
Diurnal Raptors migrate during the day. The raptors that rely mostly on soaring do not start their migration until strong thermals begin to form after 8 am. Most migrate south from July through January. To spot hawks and eagles during migration put yourself in the raptor’s roadway (leading lines).
- Leading Lines
- Raptors often follow geographical features such as coastlines and mountain ridges as they migrate.
- Obstacles
- Raptors do not like to fly over water because there are no thermals
For more information on thermals, updrafts, leading lines and obstacles, see hawkwatch.org.

We present some data here showing images of the raptor's and their ranges. It's up to you to combine this data into a world map.
Pathfinders are encouraged to use their own imaginations on how to present this information, but one option would be to print this image of the world map onto a sheet of paper, glue photographs of various raptors to it, and outline the range of each with a different colored marker.
It should be noted that raptors are completely absent from Antarctica.
