Observation details

Martha's Vineyard - seen from 10:30-11:45 on a beautiful day. What a spectacular bird - a Western Hemisphere 1st. Found on Aug. 9. Many pictures - the bird hunted and perched and gave amazingly close views. The bird is a national celebrity! Addendum - Unbelievably, the falcon was never seen again one hour after we left. It is possible the pictures I took are the last ones of RFFA.
