Hi Rick, A day trip to Point Lookout would be a good option. PLO is a very
good fall migrant trap (similar to Cape May and Kiptopeake) for both raptors
and passerines. If you contacted the State Park they could possibly arrange
a naturalist to meet with your group and combine birding with history
(colonial thru civil war era). There are facilities at the visitor
center/museum to accommodate small groups. Butterflies are also in
tremendous numbers at that time of year nectering on rotting persimmons and
other late summer/fall plants. If interested please let me know if I can
provide contact names and phone #'s or e-mail addresses. Thanks and Good
Birding, Marty Cribb, Callaway, St Mary's Co, Md

Hi all,
 I have a request for a good spot to look for hawks, primarily, but other
birds too, somewhere nearby Montgomery County, in late September. Other than
Washington Monument State Park in Boonsboro, I can't think of any place else
fairly close by with both hawks and passerines. Any thoughts?

The ANS youth birding team needs a place to go the last weekend in
September,
and the idea of hawkwatching came up.  Thanks for any info,

Rick Sussman
