Nature Done Wright

Lots of great looks at migrating raptors today — including this young Bald Eagle above. (I do like Bald Eagles.)

Saw three kettles totaling hundreds of Broad-wings, a RT Hummingbird, local Common Ravens and lots of Monarchs.

This is a great place to view (and photograph) fall raptors (with ab anazing view of the Hudson besides), and Fyke is having a field trip there all day tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 20).

Full list and Common Raven pic from my visit Thursday follows.
