The New England hawk migration study combined the worlds of hawkwatching and aeronautical engineering for a unique view of birds in flight. Specially outfitted in a Sperber motorglider, which allowed slow, sustained, highly maneuverable flying, Bill Welch and his colleagues followed the hawks on their east coast migrations, riding the same thermals as the raptors, and making detailed observations never before possible of hawk flight and navigation.
