Pelican Harbor Seabird Station Partners with Researchers on Broad-Winged Hawk Study

Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in Miami is partnering with Hawk Mountain Sanctuary from Pennsylvania on an exciting new project to track a broad-winged hawk named “Biscayne.” While these hawks typically migrate to South America for the winter, they occasionally stop in South Florida. In this collaboration, Biscayne was fitted with a GPS transmitter backpack to track its movements and monitor its habitat use, providing valuable data for conservation efforts. This initiative aims to deepen understanding of the hawk’s migratory patterns and improve protection strategies for the species.
