Thousands of birders from around the country traveled to the Katama Airport on Martha's Vineyard from August 10 to 24 to see this first-summer male Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus) found by Vernon Laux. Assuming the bird is accepted as being of wild origin -- and there is nothing at this point to suggest that it is not -- this is the first North American record for this species, which breeds in eastern Europe and central Asia, and winters in Africa.
