Soaring Across Borders: Broad-winged Hawk Banding Research

Mary St. Centre, 24 Mary St, Parry Sound

​

Charlotte England and Malcolm Wilson have spent the past several years leading a field project tracking Broad-winged Hawks during their spring return migration in Ontario. Since 2017, they’ve banded more than 694 broadwings including across Muskoka and Parry Sound regions! This contributes key data to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary’s international Broad-winged Project. Their work has uncovered migration patterns, site fidelity, and the challenges of studying a surprisingly elusive raptor. In this presentation, they’ll share their field experiences, findings, and why this research matters for the future of the species.
