Last Friday about 6 pm I was on Preston St near Charles in Baltimore.  I 
looked up into the evening sky and way up there I saw a more than a 
dozen large birds soaring in large circles.  I got out my binoculars and 
watched for a minute - they were not flapping and the wings were 
straight across, not the TV dihedral - didnt look like crows or sea 
gulls.  And they were quite high.  I looked away for a moment and I 
looked again they were gone.  I'm wondering if anyone else saw them and 
would they have been migrating hawks or what?  Thanks for any info....
