Hawkwatch - Sunday, November 26, 2017

The cool northwest winds invited a good flight of raptors past the Cape May Hawkwatch today.  November is the time of fall when many large raptors move through the area. We had a great flight of Turkey Vultures today as well as a few Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, and their mid-sized counterpart the Red-shouldered Hawk.

Late-season non-raptors are also moving through. We had exciting views of a beautiful flock of Snow Geese flying high overhead. Eastern Bluebirds and American Pipits are making daily appearances in the morning hours, and one hardy Monarch was seen flying by.

You never know what is going to fly past the Cape May Hawkwatch. See you at the platform!
