Broad-winged Hawks forming a 'kettle' as they rise on the warm thermals to continue migration south
After reading Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory's amazing 3000+ hawk report from Saturday I decided to go check it out. On Sunday I headed to Peterborough and join a great group of birders from all walks of life. Although we did not see any birds for the first few hours things changed quickly!
The official counter Henry Walters posted a days total ( from 6:15am-4:45pm) of 1792 birds, 1727 of them were broad-winged hawks. An amazing experience I will not soon forget!
