A group of field biologists and visitors to the Talamanca Hawk Watch, stand on a wooden observation deck overlooking lush Costa Rican forest, binoculars and scopes ready for migrating raptors overhead.
Mike Lanzone and Trish Miller smiling with a sweeping forest and coastline behind them, taken during a day of observing massive raptor migration.

In Costa Rica for the Raptor Research Foundation conference 🇨🇷 and already speechless — Mike & Trish joined the Talamanca Hawk Watch where 2–4 K raptors ride each thermal south.
Migration, family, and science all in one view.
