I love to get together with monarch biologists to share story about my observation of seeing a red tailed hawk chase down a monarch.A hawk chasing a monarch!Would you believe it?

Anyway,recently,I received a note from Doug Green,a hawk watcher from Cleveland,Tennessee,who observed broad-wing hawks feeding on monarchs while in flight during their migration in September. To quote Doug: "perhaps the broad-wing hawks, flying in�kettles�of hundreds or thousands, have chosen to migrate with the monarchs, for an �in-air� energy source". This is certainly an interesting observation and it is plausible that both hawks and monarchs would be using the same thermals in which to soar and glide as they migrate. If you know of any hawk watchers, you might get the word to them that any interactions they observe among hawks and monarchs should be noted and reported.
