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.
