 While at Cromwell Valley Farm Park in Baltimore County yesterday afternoon 
(willow grove farm area), I was opportuned to observe a nicely sized group of 
CONHs (for this time of year). 15 (possibly more) birds danced in the sky 
from appx. 4:30pm onwards (still there when I left at 5:30pm). 
  Also while at Cromwell, two adult Bald Eagles flew over and caught a nice 
thermal before heading out, giving myself and a few others a spectacular 
show. As well as sightings of singular Osprey and Northern Harrier,  3 
American Kestrels and 2 Sharp Shinned Hawks.
  Good birding,
