Short video clip of Broad-winged hawks (and one Swainson´s hawk) soaring in a "kettle" or thermal. Tlacotalpan, Veracruz. After wintering in central and south america the Broad-winged hawks have begun their spring migration northward to their nesting grounds. (if you pause the clip at the 10 second mark you should be able to spot the Swainson´s Hawk mixed in with the Broad-winged hawks.
