Description

A HAWK AND THE SETTING SUN by PRISCILLA BURGERS

A hawk perches in a tree in this digital painting as the sun creates a beautiful sunset at a Maxwell, New Mexico ranch. Like most birds, the hawk migrates in the autumn and the spring. Different types of hawks choose separate times in both seasons to migrate north or south. The entire autumn migrating season extends all the way from August to half way through December. It has been studied that there are longer migration distances than others. The long-distance travelers tend to begin in early autumn while the short distance travelers start much later. Thus, the longer the distance the earlier the bird begins its journey. There have also been a few studies on the relevance of the speed and efficiency of the bird's migration. It is better for a hawk to arrive at its destination as early as possible. This is because the first bird to a new area has the first pick of mates, living area, food, and much more necessities for survival. The more fat a bird has when it starts its migration, the better chance it has of making the trip safely.
