Cromwell Valley Park HawkWatch  Sunday, Sept. 11th  2005
The first few Broad-winged hawks arose from the ridge just north of us by 9:00 am. At 10:12 am 
we saw our first kettle of BWHs (31 counted) which flew right over the watch site. Another kettle of 
42 BWHs was seen at 10:30 am. By 11 o'clock the Broadwings were gaining altitude and became 
difficult to find against the clear blue sky. Some clouds appeared by afternoon and a few small 
streams of hawks were seen only when they passed under a cloud. Still, 192 Broad-winged hawks 
is not bad!!
