Welcome Comrade.
Bird enthusiasts are all a titter because a red-footed falcon has taken up residence on Martha's Vineyard. Seems this particular species of falcon normally calls Eastern Europe and Russia home.
His enthusiasm is endearing.
I love this quote from the bird watcher that fist reported the bird:
Falcons are sexy, raptors are great. This ain't no stinking striped sparrow or flycatcher. This is an honest-to-God beautiful little falcon, never been seen in North America before
His enthusiasm is endearing.
I'm curious how the bird got here. Did it jump a freighter, get kidnapped and released, or did it get swept here by a storm? Given the bird’s size and power I doubt it was the latter.
