The maintenance man declared that his father was a falconer, and that he would take her home so he could care for her. Instead I called my friend Cathy at the famous Raptor Trust in New Jersey, where they have a fully equipped hospital and full-time veterinary technicians on staff. The driver took her to a local nature center.

We might not get the variety of a New Jersey autumn but we do get major numbers of species that winter in South America. Truly a last minute bird, most of the group were already in the cars and ready to leave when local guide Justo and myself heard one give its raptor-like vocalization (it also gives a cat-like one).

It was my second field guide, and I quickly gave it that worn look I imagined all “real” birder’s field guides had by dropping it into the creek at Allaire State Park in New Jersey (by accident!).

Hawk watchers and birders who look at hawks (not always the same group!) There are probably more identification guides about raptors than there are for any other bird group. As birders in New Jersey recently found out when a Crested Caracara showed up in a farm field in the middle of suburbia, hawks just might show up anywhere!

The targeted age group is 6 to 11 years. Paige Cunningham and Janet Payne both live in the Cape May, New Jersey area and previously collaborated on a book about Cape May A to Z. Eggbert side notes that the most famous bird in New York City is not a falcon, it is a Red-tailed Hawk named Pale Male.

I grab my binoculars, camera, and field guide and drive 2-and-a-half hours to southern New Jersey. October 23 2017: I read the text message confirming that there is indeed a Common Greenshank at Edwin B. Forsythe NWR.
