You have probably seen one of these beautiful birds, but what do you really know about them? Did you know that Broad-winged Hawks are forest interior hawks? Instead of seeing them on the side of the road, where we often seeing Red-tailed Hawks, they tend to be found in large deciduous or mixed forests away from human disturbances during the breeding season. Did you know that on average, Broad-winged Hawks travel around 69 miles per day during migration, totaling 4,350 miles to get to their wintering grounds in northern South America? And did you know that Broad-winged Hawk fossils have been found around the US and in Puerto Rico, some 400,000 years old?

If you find these hawks as amazing as we do, we hope you will join us at the Smith Point Hawk Watch sometime this season! The hawk tower is open daily 8am-4pm, and all are welcome. For more information, check out https://www.gcbo.org/avian-research-and-monitoring/smith-point-hawk-watch/ for more information to plan your visit, and hawkcount.org for the daily count record.
