During the howard county fall count today Carol Garza and I tallied
over 1200 Broad wings at Rockburn Branch park. This was a small number
compared to what was out there but they were very hard to count with any
accuracy. The horizon was filled with birds kettling up starting at 9:45
continuing until 11:00. We had one huge kettle with 600 birds. We also
had two Bald eagles. 
	This evening we had another 150 streaming over my house in Ellicott
city. They were heading west at 5:30 p.m.
