	September Special Adopt $30 – Broad-winged Hawk The Broad-winged Hawk is a true wind-surfer of the sky. Unlike most hawks, migrating broad-wings rely on soaring rather than flapping to travel. They rise up on pockets of warm air called “thermals” and soar from one thermal to the next to move across the landscape. Help us care for this special raptor with a $30 gift today. Adopt a Raptor»
