Broad Winged Hawk
The Broad Winged Hawk is a medium-sized bird of prey known for its broad wings and short, rounded tail. It has a dark brown back and wings, with a lighter underbelly and a banded tail. These hawks are commonly found in forests and wooded areas, where they hunt small mammals, reptiles, and insects. They are known for their distinctive call, a high-pitched whistle that can be heard during their mating season. Broad Winged Hawks are migratory birds, with populations in North America traveling to Central and South America for the winter.
