Backyard Hawkwatch - northeast Baltimore City - Fall 1998
-White Ave. between Belair Rd. and Walther Ave.
Another hot time for Broadwings again, an kettle of 616 moving in
a hurry at 5:11pm. There is a good chance that I could reach 10,000
Broadwings this month, because I recieve a email from Kirk Moulton and
he alert me to watch for Broadwings tomorrow, today someone has over
5000 Broadwings at Chimney Rock and are headed toward to me sometimes
tomorrow. Better hope for another big wave.
Also more Blue Jay and Goldfinches are headed south along with
several Monarch.
