Watching migrating raptors at the edge of a cliff about 100 ft above the water is pretty exciting. The following left the point during the period 1330-1430 hours: Osprey 2 Bald eagle (adult) 1 Sharp-shinned hawks 4 Turkey vulture 1 The following circled, but did not cross: Sharp-shinned hawk 2 Red-tailed hawk 1 American kestrel 1 Next time I will wear long pants to avoid fly-bites on the legs. This is my first e-mail to MDOsprey.
