Migration is in full swing! For September that would usually be the headline, and we do have a wonderful article featuring last year's hawk migration<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/fall-2025-nh-raptor-migration-report/>. However, the headline of the month (as you all know) is the probable Chilean Skua sighting! If approved by the review committees, this would be the first record for New Hampshire and quite possibly the first for North America. Check out Cameron Johnson's article about this remarkable bird<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/a-first-for-north-america-a-chilean-skua-in-new-hampshire/> and stay tuned for updates. We have some other excellent articles this month. Cameron Johnson reviews the Summer 2026 Birding Season<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/season-summary-summer-2026/> with rarities including a Black-necked Stilt and an analysis of Bridled Terns in New England this summer. We are also sharing an update on the Black Vultures that Nate Marchessault discovered breeding in New Hampshire. Be sure to read it and meet New Hampshire's first known Black Vulture chicks<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/update-nhs-first-known-breeding-black-vultures/>. And, of course, we have some fun field notes, from a mob of Barn Swallows to unexpected bobcat kittens. See these on our "From the Field<https://joyofbirding.nhaudubon.org/from-the-field/>" section.
