Cape May / October 4 2011
Autumn migration of raptors: Juvenile Cooper's hawks
To my mind, Cape May is without question the premier destination for R&R. For Liesel the acronym spells Rest & Relaxation, for her birder / photographer husband the translation reads Raptors and more Raptors. Thousands upon thousands of raptors. Hawks, falcons, harriers, ospreys funneling into the Cape May peninsula.
