Two and half hours and only three Raptors! (2 peregrins though!!) I'll email Dave Kimbel the particulars. While I was there there was a HUGE flock of mixed Robins and Eastern Bluebirds other birds mixed in the flock were Waxwings, Brown-headed Cowbird, Blue Jay, Northern Flicker and RUSTY BLACKBIRD!(male and female). The flock feasted for over and hour on dogwood berries. I also saw both Kinglets, Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler and both subspecies of Palm Warbler. Later in the day i went to Bombay Hook and added Ring-necked Pheasant to my life list!. there are many many ducks at Perry Point. All in all Monday I saw 16 species of waterfowl! -Chris PS-- i am going try real hard to be at the Owl walk this friday -----Original Message----- From: Leslie Fisher [mailto:gonbrdn@DOL.NET] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 7:55 PM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: [MDOSPREY] Turkey Point- 10/26 and 10/27- falcons/goshawk The Turkey Point Hawk Watch is located in Cecil County Maryland, at the tip of the Elk Neck Peninsula, in the Elk Neck State Park. The watch began in 1995, and the site is manned by volunteers from the Cecil Bird Club and other affiliated Clubs in the area. Generally counters are only present from ~ 9AM - 12 PM. Last year we had complete coverage, but it seems we may not have such good fortune this year. ( Acutally, we have only missed a few days thus far, ) For more complete site information, including volunteering at the site, view www.udel.edu/cecilbirds On 10/26 Candi Lee counted 10 birds in 2.5 hrs: BE-2, SS-5, CH-1, AK-2 10/27 Pat Valdata and crew fared better between 0730 and 1200, scoring all 3 FALCONS, a GOSHAWK( 1000 to 1100 hr) and SHORT EARED OWL. The latter flew right overhead.
