Hawkwatch- Thursday-Sunday, October 26-29, 2017

Over the past week people from all over the world have met in Cape May to attend the 2017 International Bird Observatory Conference. It was an incredible week of awe-inspiring meetings and networking that took place for all who attended.

Delightful bird migration took place too. Cooler, gentle winds from the north brought the first-of-the-season Golden Eagle. A stronger cold front is nearly upon us. Bring on the birds, and see you at the hawkwatch!
