[CT Birds] Chester, 4/27 - broad-winged hawks

[Tammy Eustis]

Chester, 4/27 - Just had 3 BROAD-WINGED HAWKS circling over our yard, visible and audible for about ten minutes (the length of time my parents and I walked around the gardens). Two of the hawks kept locking talons and doing freefall tumbles - once, a drop of about 100 feet down into the back woods; they parted before hitting the ground. They also made a couple of low flyovers, just above tree level.
