Slow Motion
Drew took a slow motion video of the
kettles. The motion of the hawks is almost like a
choreographed slow dance. Use the TOC to switch between
kettles. |

14,670 Broad-winged Hawks in
a Day! |
|
|
| Broad-winged Hawks use thermals that
form when the earth warms up and the warm air rises. As
the warm air rises it provides lift for these buteos.
Kettles of Broad-wings riding the thermals typically
include from a dozen to several hundred hawks. On this
day we counted 14,670! |
