Pictured above is a Broad-winged Hawk that I took while being driven around by my partner Pat recently. We were on a narrow hilly road, with almost no shoulders and were past the hawk before we were able to stop. Pat continued for some distance until she found a spot to turn around and head back. The hawk was still there upon our arrival and I got the two photos you see above. I especially like the second photo because I think it shows quite well how this hawk got its name: Broad-winged Hawk.
I already have the Broad-winged hawk on my World Check List of Birds, which I saw in May of 2004. However this current sighting is only the second time I have seen and Identified a 'Broad-Winged". The second photo above, shows quite well how this Hawk got its given name, Broad-winged Hawk.
Ps. My partner Pat is fairly new to listing birds, but the Broad-winged Hawk is the latest addition to her life list.
Please comment if you wish.
