Cromwell Valley Park HawkWatch  Thursday, Sept. 29th  2005

A well defined cold front passed through our region today between 10 and 11 o'clock. Leaving 
work at 2:00pm, I was greeted by  a beautiful blue sky with scattered clouds and a brisk NW wind. 
Perfect hawk weather. By 2:45pm I was scanning the skies at CVP.
The bird of the day was a Peregrine falcon (our 7th this season!!) which, as it flew facing the sun, 
had what appeared to be a very light colored forehead. I'll have to look that one up, since there are 
various subspecies.
