It was a slower day at the hawk watch due to the Southwest winds, but there is always something to look at here in Cape May.
This Eastern Phoebe kept me company on a cold, rainy morning Nov. 17th.
One of the 3 Cave Swallows seen today. This particular individual has an obvious missing primary on the right wing.
