Broad-winged Hawk

== Roleplays that feature this creature ==
== Other info ==
Both mother and father work together to build a nest out of sticks, bark and moss located in a tree. It usually takes 2 weeks to a month to finish building the nest. Once it's time to start laying the eggs, the mother will usually lay one every 1-2 days until the clutch is complete. The task of incubating the eggs & later brooding the newly hatched eyases is left solely up to the mother, while the father brings them food. 
Once the eyases are a week old, the mother no longer needs to brood them and will start hunting to feed them as well. The eyases will fledge at the age of 1 month and 1 week to 1 month and 2 weeks, but will remain near their parents for another month or two before becoming fully independent. They usually catch their first prey at the age of 1 month and 3 weeks. 
Surinamese broad-winged hawks will usually remain there year-round and will not migrate, but the broad-winged hawks of Waterfall Glen will begin the migration south some time during September to October. They usually arrive at their destination one month after the beginning of the migration. In March, they will begin the migration back north to their breeding grounds.
