Cromwell Valley Park HawkWatch - Saturday, Nov. 19th and Sunday, Nov. 20th  2005

A late season Osprey was among the 26 migrants seen in two hours of coverage Saturday.
Four hours on Sunday produced 27 migrating raptors, with an additional hour spent in pursuit of 
several Black-capped Chickadees. These were seen in a mixed flock which included both Red and 
White-breasted Nuthatches, Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Tufted Titmouse, Downy 
Woodpecker and Carolina Chickadees. This mixed flock was in a small stand of Pines near the 
Christmas tree farm. Thanks to Kevin Graff for showing me the Black-capped Chickadee, a rare 
visitor to our area.
