Hawks on the Wing
By Josh Haas. (2017)

A video guide to identifying Eastern North American Hawks using flight ID instead of field marks. This video is focused on teaching birders how to identify hawks in flight, especially at any number of hawk watch sites around Eastern North America. What sets this video apart is the unique feature allowing birders to see two hawk species flying side by side while audio commentary makes learning faster and easier. 16 Eastern North American Hawks are included along with 28 side-by-side comparison videos.
