Dave Leatherman alerted me that my apparent breeding record of Broad-winged Hawk might be rarer than I thought. No confirmed breeding records were reported during either Breeding Bird Atlas, and Andrews & Righter mention only one confirmed record of breeding for the state. So I hope people can obtain additional confirmation of this apparent family group.
