Hawk Watch Thursday November 5, 2009

Digi-binned shot of the Hudsonian Godwit that flew by the platform this morning (copyright Doug Gochfeld)

Another interesting day at the Hawkwatch, although the light winds and cloudless sky made for another high raptor flight. Hudsonian Godwit (initially spotted by Michael O'Brien), American Bittern, 2 Glossy Ibis, and 2 Cave Swallows were the non-raptor highlights.
