Cromwell Valley Park HawkWatch - Saturday, Oct. 1st and Sunday, Oct. 2nd 2005
Saturday's blue, cloudless sky with calm winds resulted in a poor flight. There were a few more
Red-tailed hawks than usual, but no definite movement south yet.
Sunday was a little better as a few wispy clouds helped us to see the high flyers. Bird of the day
was a Broad-winged hawk which flew very low and close with a full crop! There seems to be some
question as to the feeding habits of BWs during migration, and I'd sure like to know what was on
this bird's menu.
