🦅10.5 Raptor Station: Favorite Bird this Migration Season— White-throated Needletail

I really love this guy! It’s like a seal in the sky! Its wings are long and blade-shaped, and its body is very similar to a bullet. The forehead is dark brown or grayish-white, the back is dark white, the waist is smoky brown, and the rest of the upper body is black with a bluish-green sheen. The tail feathers have needle-like tips, which is very unique. So cool! I totally understand why it has "needle" in its name! It’s not a raptor, but someone i saw at our station!
