From Tim Antanaitis:

2/9 - Madison, Hammonasset State Park -- 1 immature NORTHERN GOSHAWK
at 2:45 on the osprey platform that is visible from the main road as you enter the
park.  It was being harassed by a Northern Harrier until the Goshawk flew directly
overhead into the campground.  Also, the AMERICAN BITTERN landed in the marsh
next to the Nature Center pond at 4:15.

I heard from other birders that the crossbills were seen today in the West Beach
pines.  They weren't around during my brief visit.
