Fall has only just begun, but already more than 25,000 Broad-winged Hawks have flown over a Hawkwatch site in Bedford, NY! These make up only a fraction of the tens of thousands of birds of prey of all sorts that migrate across the northeast each fall in huge flocks, also known as “kettles.”
This incredible journey begins in September and October, and ends once they reach South America, where they spend the winter. Follow their full migration path using the Bird Migration Explorer, now accessible on mobile devices! |
