The hudsonian godwit spent day number two on Bunker Pond today, hanging around to the delight to those who many have missed it yesterday. It first flew in yesterday mid-morning, and we noticed that this individual had two legs, but was indeed missing a foot. The falcon flight picked up incredibly this afternoon, with kestrel after kestrel and merlin after merlin zooming over and around the platform.
