Details
One of the first birds we saw upon arriving to the park. It was circling above us as we approached Binnen Bridge—not super low, but low enough to get my heart pumping before I even put bins up to my eyes. Its long, pointed wings seemed much more dramatic than that of a PEFA or other confusion species. I am in the process of learning how to use a new camera and I thought I was gonna lose the bird before I could figure out how to get it in focus, but when I ran out to the Nethermead for a better view of the sky it steadily circled overhead for a few minutes allowing for some great looks and decent photo opportunities. Great consolation for the surprising lack of birds at the park this evening. Lifer for both of us, allowing me (AT) to let out a huge sigh of relief, as I had seen a bird with extremely similar vibes hovering over the neighborhood while I was out running errands sans binoculars yesterday afternoon. After seeing this one today, I feel slightly more convinced it’s what I saw yesterday, but obviously nowhere near confident enough to report it.
