It’s the right time for seeing broad-wings but many species of hawks and vultures are migrating now so it could have been another kind of bird — or even a mix.
Good sighting!

They glided far above the ground and criss-crossed each others’ paths; not long after they appeared, most of them were gone. Are these broad-winged hawks on the move?
