This Broad-winged Hawk is fairly small, only about 13-17 inches but they are fantastic flyers. When they take off on their migration south they fly in flocks anywhere from 40 associate travelers up to several thousand.
Around a two month journey to as far south as South America, they average about 60 miles a day and fly as high as 4,000 feet using thermal drafts to soar through their trip.
When these hawks leave our state they edge west on their migration route in order to avoid flying over salt water and fly through a land "funnel" that takes them over Mexico and Central America on their way to their final destination.

NS's train 309 rolls past high above the Upper Genesee Falls inside Letchworth State Park. While the traffic that runs the line through here is nice, the park is spectacular and well worth anyone's time to visit.
Caught this photograph right after it left the tree branch. Very overcast as you can see. Tried not to get overexposed. Hopefully looks okay.
On the beach with Lucy this morning and these gulls were using the up-draft of the harbour wall to do some serious soaring. I swear they do it for fun.
Explored: Thank you very much for all your comments and fav's

While out for a drive in the Willow Creek Valley in Lassen County, California, USA I spotted this red tailed hawk gliding across a rancher’s field. It was very late on a January day and the sun was minutes from disappearing below the ridgeline to camera-right and in front of the wonderful bird. This made for some glorious warm light on the bird’s face as it soared in front of the clear blue northern California sky and almost made its feathers glisten a bit.

Part soaring spires, part medieval fortress, the LDS temple out near Wilsonville both inspires and intimidates. Which I guess a temple ought to do. It really is a beautiful building and worth the trip to see. A small group of us including Aaron, Wendi and Owen made the trip about a month and a half ago, my first visit here, though I had passed it while driving on I-5 a number of times. Fortunately/unfortunately the reflecting pool and fountain were drained and off, so no impressive reflections but it did offer up a couple of different vantage points to photograph from that would not have been available with the pool full of water.
