Hugger The Broad-Winged Hawk Is On Her Way To Guatemala!

Hugger, the Broad-Winged Hawk we are sponsoring with a tracking transmitter through Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, is migrating south and in the lead! Today we talk with Rebecca McCabe, a Broad-Winged Hawk biologist, about Hugger's flight south for the winter. As of this interview, Hugger has already flown over Chiapas, Mexico and seems headed to Guatemala for a second year in a row!
