Around 1530, or so, a nice Coopers Hawk was right at the side of Rte 30, about 600 yards southwest of the intersection with Center Road. It posed beautifully in a tree, then flew across the road, and perched on a cable. All told, it was there for more than a half hour. I didn't see anyone else look at it, so I assume no one else noticed it. rcg, Vernon, CT -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail
