Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Watch Bird Feeders. Sharp-shinned Hawks frequently visit bird feeders, not to eat the seeds, but to prey on the small birds attracted to them. Keep an eye out for sudden commotion among feeder birds.
2. Scan Forest Edges. Look along the edges of forests and clearings, where they often perch inconspicuously before launching an attack.
3. Observe Flight. Learn to recognize their distinctive 'flap-flap-glide' flight and their agile maneuvering through trees. They often fly low and fast.
4. Visit Hawk Watches. During fall migration (September-October), visit hawk watch sites where thousands of raptors, including Sharp-shinned Hawks, can be observed migrating south.

Migrazione

Most populations are migratory, moving south for the winter. Northern populations undertake long-distance migrations, while southern populations may be resident or undertake shorter-distance movements. Migrates along mountain ridges and coastlines, often in large numbers during peak migration.
