Date: 10/26/24 5:29 pm From: Steve Mayo via CTBirds <ctbirds...> Subject: [CT Birds] Lighthouse Park New Haven - Rough-legged Hawk and Red-headed Woodpecker
There was a second-of-the-season light morph Rough-legged Hawk and yet another Red-headed Woodpecker at today's (10/26) hawk watch. There were also 168 diurnal raptors and several more non-migrants. There are many (15-20 today) Hermit Thrushes in the Park. Thrushes, Towhees, and White-throated Sparrows are feeding on invasive euonymus berries.
Light NW winds are forecast for tomorrow so we're hoping for a solid morning flight and a few more hawks.
