Every Fall the NH Audubon hosts the Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory at Miller State Park. It is a spectacular event as you can watch hundreds of migrating Raptors go by, especially when the wind is from the northwest. It is not uncommon to see very large kettles (also called boils) of Hawks there as they ride the circular warm air updrafts through the valleys. Bring a chair or blanket and a pair of binoculars and enjoy.
This is not my image, but it will give you a sense of what a boil looks like.
