Join biologist Diego Gallego García for a closer look at the breeding habits of the elusive Broad-winged Hawk. Thanks to a long-term study by Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and collaborators like the Harris Center, we now have movement data of GPS-tagged hawks during their reproductive cycle. This online Lunch & Learn event, co-sponsored with the Hawk Migration Association of America (HMANA), will reveal the novel discoveries regarding the breeding home ranges of this forest raptor and how this research is crucial to conservation efforts.

Noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom. Registration is required for this free online event. For more information about this program, including accessibility, contact Phil Brown. For those not able to join via Zoom, HMANA will livestream the event on their Facebook page. A recording will also be posted to the HMANA website following the presentation.

Diego Gallego García is a Spanish biologist who has devoted his research career to wildlife biology, focusing on the ecology and conservation of raptors in the Americas. He is a PhD candidate at CONICET (Argentinian National Scientific and Technical Research Council) and member of CECARA (Center for the Study and Conservation of Birds of Prey in Argentina). As part of a recent traineeship at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, Diego participated in the Broad-winged Hawk Project, and published new data on the breeding home ranges of this elusive forest bird.
