Agree. It is red tails on the wires from Island to Owensboro. Also, regulars at
CC Walmart and vic of 431 at Drakesboro. These are in Muleburger and McLean
Counties. We did have one red shoulder on the wires at Central City two weeks
ago....
Cape May and Veracruz are famous for thousands of broadband possible in a
single day during migration. We highly recommend Cape May spring, shorebirds
and hawks and fall, hawks
We used to cave southwest of Veracruz in a sugarcane growing area in broad
valleys surrounded by limestone ridges

Interesting because I see a lot of Red-tailed Hawks sitting on wires, but not
broad-winged or red-shouldered hawks! Maybe it’s a regional thing? (Not).

powerlines pretty frequently, but a rarely see red-tails do it.Michael Autin

Not even a new day bird, but as Alison and I set out on our afternoon field
walk, a mature Red-tailed Hawk was using a power line up ahead of us as a
hunting perch. There are 12 light poles on our place, an artifact of the early
years of rural electrification. Daddy was among the first to sign up. Some
other local farmers wouldn’t sign a right-of-way, then got spur lines branching
from here when they changed their minds. Hawks have always used pole tops as
hunting perches, but it seems pretty odd to see something that big on the wire.
Further on, what was likely a Barred Owl flew out of a fence row and headed for
a wooded sink hole out in a bean field. As I attempted to see where it landed,
I spotted a male Northern Harrier coursing over the bean field.
