4 needle-felted raptors in flight (Goshawk, Broad-winged Hawk, Red-shouldered Hawk, and Osprey) and 1 pair of American Kestrels at a nest box. They're all hanging on my studio closet doors.

I'm currently tidying up and packing my Hawk Mountain brigade... And I'm getting kinda sad about it! Dropping off Saturday, the show opens end of this month. I'm gonna miss these guys actually 😭♥️

Broad-winged Hawk is soooo close now!!! He just needs legs!
Probably will get to those when I need a break from the Red-shouldered Hawk. I'm intimidated by how much detail she'll need...

"A broad‑winged hawk glides overhead, suspended in a clean, endless blue sky. You see it from below, as if you’re standing in a clearing and it has chosen that exact moment to pass above you. Its wings are spread wide—broad, rounded, and powerful—each feather catching the sunlight in a slightly different shade of brown, cream, and charcoal. The patterning is striking: dark bands along the trailing edges of the wings, pale mottling across the chest and belly, and a tail marked with bold, even stripes that look almost painted on. The hawk’s body is compact and muscular, built for soaring on rising air. From this angle, the bird feels both close and unreachable—its silhouette sharp, its motion effortless. There’s a sense of quiet authority in the way it holds itself aloft, as though the sky belongs to it alone. The simplicity of the background, nothing but blue, makes the hawk’s details even more vivid: the layered feathers, the barred tail, the subtle curve of the wings as they adjust to invisible currents. It’s a moment of stillness and motion at once—an intimate glimpse of a wild creature doing exactly what it was made to do." - Microsoft Copilot

A collage of Broad-winged Hawk images

A look at my favorite Broad-wing photos from this Fall at Mt. Watatic (MA). By mid-October, most #broadwingedhawk have already left the US, heading south. It was a delight (and relief) to see thousands of them again at our #hawkwatch site after <1K last year. Total count : 3,624! #birding 🦅🪶

Hawk with chunky body soaring against a blue sky. Tips of wings and trailing edge black or very dark brown. Tail has thin dark bands on whitish background terminating in a thicker dark band. Head is dark with brown streaks from the throat to the belly

It's Broad-winged Hawk migration season. They are known for forming large migrating flocks that can sometimes number in the thousands! #birds #birding #bird #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #raptors #broadwingedhawk

New lifer today: Broad-winged Hawk! Was bummed I couldn't stay out with this mornings group too long due to meetings today.

Let's go Hawkwatching! A Graphic of a Broad-winged Hawk soaring over green hills.

What is "Hawkwatching?" Volunteers identify and count migrating raptors to survey migratory numbers. Hundreds of sites across North America count and share data

Hawkwatching Defined: Counters watch at sites along migratory routes in Fall and Spring. Value of data requires year-to-year consistency. It's community science!

It's September. Let's get the #hawkwatch going! Very soon, we’ll be in the peak #BroadwingedHawk migration window in Mass, with a chance to see big flights of migrating hawks. Consider this an invite to join us at the summit of Mount Watatic in the coming weeks! (1/3) #birding 🪶🦅

Broad-winged Hawks are on the move! Have you seen any at your Hawkwatch yet this season?! And remember to visit HawkCount.org to find a Hawkwatch near you!

It got very quiet very fast when this Broad-winged Hawk sailed over the property just above the treetops - shrieking loudly along the way. The Gerrys didn't reappear for at least another hour.

Yard hawk! Robins and catbirds making a lot of noise in the trees. I saw a beautiful adult Broad-winged Hawk perched on a limb approx 60' above ground. It took off with robins following closely. Peterborough, New Hampshire, USA, 6/18/25.

Broad-winged Hawk juvenile perched near the top of a tall snag tree, roadside in Peterborough, New Hampshire, 5/6/25. "Bulk of a Buteo plus their characteristic long wings and short tail, unlike Accipiter/Astur hawks. The tail’s pale spaces being wider than the dark tail bands fit juvenile Broad-winged, so do the plainer secondaries - lacking multiple high contrast bands like Red-shouldered. Some chunkier marks looking like barring on the sides of the underparts are ok for juvenile." (comments by Shane Brown on Facebook Raptor ID group, 5/15/25)

"The image captures a stunning broad-winged hawk soaring through a bright blue sky. Its wings are spread wide, showcasing detailed feather patterns and striking coloration. The bird's body is a mix of rich browns with light and dark streaks, while its tail features bold black-and-white bands. The hawk appears powerful yet graceful in mid-flight, with a sharp gaze and aerodynamic posture. A watermark in the lower right corner credits "Swede's Photographs" as the photographer." - Copilot

Yesterday was a bumper day for birds in Northern Illinois as a strong southern wind was pushing many migrating species through the area! In a span of 15 minutes I saw #BroadWingedHawk, #RedtailedHawks, #CoopersHawk, and a #NorthernHarrier.

Taken Apr 2025 in Illinois. #birds #birdsinflight

Hawks are seen all over the place even in the winter around the Denver suburbs.

The broad-winged hawk is a migratory marvel, traveling thousands of miles each year. We spotted this one on one of the last days. 🦅✨
