Since we are now in the peak migration period for Broad-winged Hawks in the northeast, I figured I’d share some videos I took this afternoon at the Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch in Greenwich, CT (over 6000 were seen there today). Broad-wings migrate in large groups, often forming “kettles” of swarming, swirling birds. Quite a sight!
Make sure you watch FULL SCREEN in HD for maximum effect!
Wow, that’s a whole lot of hawks!
Thanks for the videos…how amazing! They remind me of summer mosquitoes in abundance!
