Hello, 

Not only is the Peregrine still around Bethesda this morning (though
invisible from my vantage point), judging from the behavior of the
starlings and pigeons, but I have noticed three species of hawk from my
sixth story office window.  I wonder what a 'full-time' hawk watch would
have noted....

Sharp-shinned Hawk at 9:30 am
Turkey Vulture at 11:45 
Red-tailed Hawk at 11:47

other species I have seen this month have been Cooper's Hawk and Merlin,
with an Osprey late in October.
