Answer 2

Some species of hawks do migrate over very long distances. Broadwings, a common hawk of the Eastern United States migrate all the way to South America each year. Red-tails, Sharp-shinneds, Coopers and Harriers also migrate, though not such long distances.

There are locations where large numbers of hawk pass through during migration. In some of these areas there are people monitoring the numbers. Here in Texas there are several sites where they count. One of these watches, at Hazel Bazemore Park in Corpus Christi, has had days where there have been over 400,000 birds going over.

Answer 3

Hawks definitely migrate. "Hawks" is a pretty broad group, but generally they spend their summers in the northern US and Canada, and then go south for the winter. They might stay in the southern US or go on to South America.
