Massachusetts Trip for Red-footed Falcon! ~ August 12, 2004

Rick Wiltraut and I drove to Massachusetts and took the ferry over to Martha's Vineyard. We then headed to the Katama Airport where a Red-footed Falcon, a Eurasian bird, was being seen. We watched the bird as it hunted the airport grounds and perched on one of the runway signs.

Here, the bird is hovering like a Kestrel while hunting over the airfield. This bird was photographed at the Katama Airport on Martha's Vineyard. It represents the 1st North American record!
