One thought on “April 2012”

  1. Thanks for the post on March 30th about the hawk migration. It is nice to know that the hawks are on their way north. I was just doing a general Internet search to see if anyone had posted anything about migrating broad-winged hawks.

    I am a volunteer for the Raptor Nest Survey in the Cleveland Metroparks in NE Ohio. We find and monitor birds of prey nests in the parks. I have only been doing this for three years; but, I really enjoy it.

    Last year I was lucky to find and watch two broad-winged hawk nests. One reason I was able to find them was that some more experienced birders told me that the broad-winged hawks return to this area on April 15th. They were correct. That is when I saw them flying and calling above their nesting areas.

    Maybe some of the broad-winged hawks you saw are headed this way.

    Have a great year!
