The image in my mind when I wrote this song was to imagine standing on North Lookout at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, arms spread out wide, eyes closed, facing into the wind, and then falling forward under my own weight, drifting out into the sky and floating through the wind with the migrating raptors as they fly south for the winter. |

In mid-September the arrival of the Broadwings at Hawk Mountain is a much anticipated event. They circle over North Lookout in large “kettles” numbering in the hundreds. This song has a meandering sense to it, capturing the image of the Broadwings as they fly overhead, while riding the thermals. |

By the time early December rolls in, the majority of the raptors will have passed over Hawk Mountain, ending the fall migration. With the exception of a few “locals” who remain for the winter, the skies will be relatively empty until the spring. |
