Two of us ventured from Harpers Ferry late in the afternoon and arrived at 
the Graceham Road area just before 6:00.  The good news is that we got a 
very close look at the Lapwing.  He moved away from our car to about 25 
feet, spread his wings and gave us some great looks.  So, mission 
accomplished.  However be warned that the police are in the area and are 
prepared to cite anyone who stops on the road. There is apparently a good 
deal of irritation among local residents about congestion and, as the 
officer reported said, "this is going to stop."
