It's fascinating that the Broad-winged Hawks had apparently been roosting together, yet went so many different directions when they took off for the day. I wonder if they were hunting rather than migrating, and whether they would somehow gather again later to roost or migrate.

Late on Monday morning, just when the winds were shifting from northerly to southerly, Tilden and I saw six BROAD-WINGED HAWKS over the Dryden side of Sapsucker Woods. Two birds flew west quite low over and possibly into the treetops. Two rose on a thermal and drifted south. One glided fast and very high on pointed wings straightaway to the south. One flew east. Now I am looking forward to seeing what Broad-winged Hawk liftoffs or passages we might see on Friday.
