With winds out of the south and temperatures way above normal, the hawk flight was not 
as good as one might hope for in mid-November  at Cromwell Valley Park yesterday. The 
ten Red-shouldered Hawks counted was more than most sites in our region saw. Thanks 
to Kevin Graff and a team of counters who conducted yesterday's watch.
