EnglishWhat Events and Trips Does Hawks Aloft Organize?
Updated
Hawks Aloft, Inc. runs a mix of local workshops, a wildlife conference, photography sessions, raffles, and international wildlife travel. The events listed on its site span 2026 into 2027, and most require you to reserve a spot or buy a ticket through the website rather than just showing up. Below is what's currently posted, with dates and locations as given.
The Inaugural NM Wildlife Conference Workshop & Symposium
This is the flagship event featured on the homepage.
- Dates: November 6–7, 2026
- Location: Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, Albuquerque, NM
- How to attend: The site invites visitors to "reserve your spot" via a link on the homepage.
Because it's billed as the inaugural conference, expect a first-time program rather than an established annual format. If you want details on sessions, speakers, or fees, the reservation link is the place to check — the homepage excerpt doesn't list a price.
Workshops and Local Events
Hawks Aloft posts workshops alongside its news items. The ones visible in the current listing include:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| BIRDS OF PREY: Photography Workshop | September 12, 2026 |
| NM Wildlife Conference Workshop and Symposium | August 10, 2026 (news post date) |
| Living with Landscape Application | April 14, 2026 (news post date) |
The photography workshop is the clearest example of a hands-on, single-day activity. Note that some entries in the news feed are dated as posts rather than as event dates, so confirm the actual event date on the linked page before planning.
International Wildlife Trips
Hawks Aloft partners with Holbrook Travel for international trips. Two are listed:
- Brazil | Return to the Pantanal: Magical Wildlife of the Northern Pantanal — July 23–August 2, 2027
- Thrill to the Miracle of Migration • Return to Panama, A River of Raptors — October 13–28, 2027
A past trip, the Pantanal 2025 journey, is documented in a photo gallery. That October 2025 trip involved 10 travelers with Hawks Aloft and Holbrook Travel to what the site calls the largest tropical wetland in the world. The gallery gives a sense of what the trips involve before you commit to a 2027 departure.
Raffle Quilt
A recurring fundraiser rather than a trip, but it's an event with a deadline:
- 2026–27 Raffle Quilt features a Barn Owl, designed by Gail Garber and Cynthia Figueroa-McInteer.
- Tickets: $1 each or 6 for $5.
- Drawing date: December 4, 2027.
Tickets are sold through the website's cart/checkout.
How to Reserve or Learn More
- Go to the Hawks Aloft homepage and find the event or trip you want.
- Use the "reserve your spot" link for the conference, or the "Add to cart" buttons for raffle tickets.
- For trips, follow the trip listing — international travel is arranged with Holbrook Travel, so booking details may route through that partner.
- For anything without a clear button, use the site's contact or "More About Us" section to ask directly.
Common snag: the homepage mixes news posts with event announcements, and some dates in the news feed are publication dates, not event dates. Always open the individual listing to confirm the actual date, location, and whether registration is open.
What This Means for You
- If you're local to Albuquerque: the November 2026 conference and the September 2026 photography workshop are the most accessible options.
- If you want a longer, guided experience: the 2027 Pantanal and Panama trips are the international offerings, arranged with a travel partner.
- If you just want to support the organization cheaply: the raffle quilt tickets at $1–$5 are the lowest-commitment option.
Prices for the conference, workshops, and trips aren't stated in the homepage material, so treat those as "contact or check the listing" rather than assuming any figure.
