While at Cromwell Valley Farm Park in Baltimore County yesterday afternoon
(willow grove farm area), I was opportuned to observe a nicely sized group of
CONHs (for this time of year). 15 (possibly more) birds danced in the sky
from appx. 4:30pm onwards (still there when I left at 5:30pm).
Also while at Cromwell, two adult Bald Eagles flew over and caught a nice
thermal before heading out, giving myself and a few others a spectacular
show. As well as sightings of singular Osprey and Northern Harrier, 3
American Kestrels and 2 Sharp Shinned Hawks.
Good birding,
