Broad-winged Hawk (Buteo platypterus) Page Springs, Yavapai County

The most reliable time and place to find a Broad-winged Hawk in Arizona is at the Grand Canyon Hawk Watch International watch sites at Lipan and Yaki points in September. Even there, it is rare. Across the rest of Arizona, this hawk is a casual migrant.The bird pictured here was spotted by a Central Arizona Butterfly Association field trip to Page Springs, Yavapai County, on 14 April 2007. Broad-winged Hawk is an Arizona Bird Committee review species.
