Nancy and I went to Washington Monument State Park in Washington County on my way to spend the afternoon with Nancy's sister who lives in Boonsboro. We were at the Hawk Watch there from 9:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., and during that time we saw the following species among others: Turkey Vulture 49 Osprey 1 Northern Harrier 3 Sharp-shinned Hawk 39 Cooper's Hawk 14 Red-shouldered Hawk 6 Red-tailed Hawk 10 Peregrine Falcon 1 Common Raven 8 (resident) Tree Swallow 3 It was a beautiful day. The temperature was in the high fifties, and the winds were light (3-10 mpn) and from the SSE. Many of the hawks came in low, directly over the monument, and we had fine looks at them.
