As of today, out of season, returns ~August. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Every autumn, hundreds of thousands to over a million diurnal raptors migrate along the eastern Black Sea coast and concentrate at the Batumi bottleneck in southwestern Georgia.
The constriction created by coastal topography forces large numbers of buzzards, harriers, kites, honey-buzzards, eagles, and falcons into a narrow corridor, producing one of the largest predictable raptor migrations in the world.
