HWI and its organizational precursors have been studying the fall raptor migration in the Goshute Mountains of northeastern Nevada since 1980 when HWI founder Steve Hoffman and colleagues first began banding at the site. Standardized counts were begun in 1983 and have continued each year since. This is one of the longest running standardized migration-monitoring efforts in the West. This project runs from 15 August through 5 November each year. Annual counts typically range between 12,000-25,000 migrants of up to 18 species, making this one of the largest concentrations in the western U.S. and Canada.
