Location: Cape May Bird Observatory Hawk Watch Site
Today marked the end of Autumn Weekend here at Cape May. Highlights at the platform included a Black-headed Gull, Cliff Swallow, and Northern Rough-winged Swallow. Also, a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk was caught this morning. Banders Arthur and John brought the bird over to the east shelter and 30+ people on the platform were treated to an impromptu raptor demonstration!
