Raptors on the Rise

Bald Eagle Image by Dave Brandes

These raptors are noted to be increasing in population in North America based on our recent analysis.

Raptors on the Rise (green). We identify species with wide-spread increases (dark green) as those with migration TSI’s greater than or equal to 0.7 during any time period (10-yr, 20-yr, or both), and species with moderate increases (light-green) as those with migration TSI’s greater than or equal to 0.4.

Note: Species with trend data from less than five sites continent-wide, e.g. Prairie Falcon, were not categorized due to insufficient trend data relative to the species distribution.
