Hi All:
This morning I had the company of Jeff Gordon ( pres. of Delmarva
Ornithological Society ) and his wife Martha.  With his help, I was able
to get on a female RUSTY BLACKBIRD, a new county bird for me.  Other
migrants- juv. SCARLET TANAGER, YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO, RED-BREASTED
NUTHATCH , MYRTLE AND BLACKPOLL Warblers.     I enjoyed the company and
having some help.

Now, the hawk count: 128 raptors between 8:30 am and 11:45 as follows-
RT- 3,  BW- 25( 17 of these in a kettle ), SS- 52, CH-18, a decent
morning for KESTRELS, with 11 passing over, PEREGRINE- 1( very high ),
TV-7, BE-3, NH-1 and OS-7.  These numbers in 3 hours make me think that
300-400 birds might have been possible , and seriously regret having to
leave for WORK!!!***
