Hello, I have heard about raptor migration in the Autumn in Mexico. There is not much on where to go to watch Spring migration though. Thoughts please.

I don't know about Mexico, but Tolima Colombia gets some crazy numbers.

I've been watching hawks and vultures migrate near my home in the unfashionable swamps at the base of the Blue ridge mountains. I suggest you go to the nearest hilltop and see what you've got.
Me? 20 Red-Tails in an afternoon was an awesome day. 6 Turkey Vultures was not.

If you Google “Gunsight Mountain Hawkwatch” you’ll see that Alaska gets a well-attended influx of raptors through a series of mountain passes that funnel the birds to an easy viewing location along the road system. I’ve attended in past years, you can get most of your yearly raptor tics in a single day if you are good at identifying flight silhouettes.

I'd be surprised if your location didn't have something similar.
