Hi all,



   Catching up on my former hawkwatch in Baltimore City.  Watch site set up in small grassy field between my old house (4th house from field) and ridge.  Limited time each day in summer due to rude kids.  Will pick up more hours in September.  

Last fall last watch was where John Landers and I had over 350 hawks in 5 hrs including a Rough-legged Hawk in mid Nov.
