They moult out in like Januaryish on the East coast, but most birds don't loose ALL their feathers at once because they would become too vulnerable. They would not be at their flying best during a moult, but neither would they be totally grounded. Hope that helps.

: Just wondering if there is a period of time during the year when hawks can not fly, due to moulting.
: Thanks!!
