I also saw one large, very light-backe= d hawk - almost rust orange - on the Parkway median just south of the I-195 exit. Maybe a very light morph Red-tail? Arriving home in Baltimore, I first heard - then spotted - two Peregrine Falcons on the spire of the First and Franklin Street Presbyterian Church; second time in a month I=92ve seen them there.
