To all you MD raptorphiles:
Just a little update on the hawk watch season at Turkey
Point in Cecil County. Since Sept. 1, we have counted 633
raptors, with a total of 59.5 hours of volunteer count
coverage spread over 17 calendar days. The largest number
of any one species has been 245 Sharpies. Bald Eagles are
easily seen - 69 individuals so far. At least one is almost
always in view and these are almost certainly not migrants -
they are locals, hanging around the Point. If interested in
more count details, please check our website at

The Cecil Bird Club is sponsoring a bird walk at Turkey
Point this coming Saturday, 9/25. Meet trip leader Leslie
"Fishhawk" Fisher at the TP parking lot (south end of Rt.
272) at 7:30 am for some warblering on the way into the hawk
watch site. The landbirding has been very good at TP
lately, so we expect an interesting walk. For more
information/directions, you can contact Leslie at
<gonbrdn@dol.net> or me at <mww@udel.edu>. Leslie continues
to have problems with her internet server, preventing her
from posting to Osprey. But, she can answer e-mail.
