Learning to identify hawks in flight from scratch is challenging. This simple, structured approach to learning field ID was developed before specialized field guides to hawks or mirrorless cameras became available. Migrating hawks usually are not seen or photographed as they look in most guides and social media photos. With this system, you can learn to identify many hawks you see at a distance and those you’ll see spectacularly well.
Paul Roberts founded the Eastern Mass Hawk Watch in 1976, establishing the watches at Wachusett Mountain, Mt. Watatic, and Plum Island. He led the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA) for four years and the NorthEast Hawk Watch (NEHW) for over 20 years, but is still learning more about hawk identification and behavior every day.
