Abstract

Raptor migration is a natural phenomenon that occurs seasonally. Indonesia serves as an important corridor and destination for the migrating raptors. Traditionally raptor migration is monitored in the highlands, especially in West Java. This study reports the result of monitoring from a location in a lowland area of urban Bogor. The monitoring was conducted from October to mid-December 2021. At least a total of 1.225 individuals were observed consisting of 3 dominant species, i.e. Oriental-honey Buzzard (Pernis ptylorhinchus), Chinese Sparrowhawk (Accipiter soloensis ) dan Japanese Sparrowhawk (Accipiter gularis).
