Cedar Grove Ornithological Research Station(CGORS) is the longest continuous raptor banding station in North America with roots dating back to the 1930's. CGORS banding director and wildlife biologist Danny Erickson discusses the raptor count and banding operations at CGORS continuing its mission monitoring long-term avian migration trends in the Western Great Lakes.Danny is from Wauwatosa where his life-long interest in nature and biology led him to study wildlife ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Since then, he has been fortunate to learn from many skilled raptor researchers at Cedar Grove, HawkWatch International, The Peregrine Fund, Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory, and Mackinac Straits Raptor Watch honing his raptor research abilities. Since 2021, Danny oversees the CGORS operation each autumn migration. He currently is a second-year graduate student at UW-Green Bay using transmitters to study Sharp-shinned Hawk migration.
