We're glad to hear that Broad-winged hawks are being seen in WA.
Broad-winged hawks do migrate down the coast. We used to live in the San
Francisco Bay area for a short time and would watch hawks migrating over the
Golden Gate. There were BW each year. Are there a good places to watch hawk
migration here?
