As Dr. Miller mentioned, we’re trying to (recruit volunteers) for the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. But before I get into the details of volunteer program, I’d just like to tell you a little about what we do here.

% i _2 K8 o0 P' s6 b* ~, [One of (our) main jobs is to keep detailed records of (migration) <patterns> of <raptors>. For those of you who don’t know, raptors are birds of prey, like <hawks and eagles>. Between <August> and December, we see around twenty different species migrating from Canada and New England –about twenty thousand birds.& s1 h C- s* o m3 R2 c9 ~+ \

What happens is that the (sun warms the ridge) in such a way that air (currents) are formed. The birds just (sort of glide along) on the air—so they use up very little energy.: _# k6 O+ `! H2 G6 _

As volunteers you’ll be help us keep (accurate counts) of the raptors. Any drop in number could mean something’s wrong in the environment—because of (pesticides) or disease—even hunting.

We just had a <scare> with the (broad-winged) hawks. Their numbers have dropped drastically over the last ten years. It was suggested that the birds may have changed their (migratory route). So for eleven days, we had several hundred volunteers – stationed every five miles—to observe and count. And (sure enough), they discovered that instead of (hugging) the Appalachian as (they’d always done), the broad-wings were (cutting a wide path) over the Delaware River. (Needless to) say, we were greatly <relieved>.% Z4 Q9 k( t+ A- E

其中hawk和eagle从英文翻译过来都是鹰：Eagle 偏向于“鹰”这个动物本身，动物的形象等；Hawk偏向于鹰的性格、代表猛禽等意思。
