Great to see that the fall movement is on.  I have also seen Nighthawks 
over the house in Van Ness NW DC for the last two evenings and have just 
seen a rapidly moving full adult Bald Eagle zoom right past the office 
window.

Also of note in the last few days are a fledged family of Kestrels (2 
adults, 2 immatures) taking up occupancy outside the Audubon office perched 
atop the office on the corner of Connecticut and Rhode Island Avenues in NW 
DC.  They are catching insects on the wing and generally messing about 
around the cathedral and even dropping down onto the sidewalk on Rhode 
Island to pick up insects (I presume).  Very entertaining.

Cheers

Gary
