Lighthouse Point Hawk Watch
Sunday I visited the hawk watch at Lighthouse Point (where the Connecticut River enters Long Island Sound) - an excellent morning with many low flying hawks and good photo ops. Here are a few samples:
Good birding!

Some great shots, Chris.
Well done, Harold
Wow, those are splendid flight shots Chris, as you said probably a really good place to observe them! Well done!
Great flight shots. It's a challenge to photograph birds in flight against a bright sky. I love yours.
Wonderful photos Chris! I bought my husband a falconry lesson in Manchester, and I was able to tag along. I am now fascinated by hawks. Their wing-span is so impressive, and they are such beautiful birds. Your photos beautifully illustrate that!
Nice action shots of the hawks in flight. I have never been to a hawk watch before, looks like you chose a great day and time to visit.
I saw my share of hawks at Lighthouse Point too but I'm too slow and so is my camera. Great interplay between the CH and NH!Interesting how subtle the markings are on the juvenile RSH-I'll have to keep that in mind.
GORGEOUS Hawks...! What beautiful and fascinating photos of these magnificient birds!!!!!
...oh, you know, Chris.....I am even able to hear almost every day their "talks" over the woods; I can see them flying; as our house stands way up on a hill; overlooking a natural reserve...!
