I'll say!  Last evening (Wednesday), sitting on my front porch steps in
Baltimore city between 7:30 and 7:45, fifteen flew lazily over the house. 
These birds, however, were heading southwest.  Could they have been
avoiding Bonnie?  Incidentally, last week, a singing purple martin flew
over our property (a new yard bird!)
