I was one of the leaders of the BBC Blackwater trip, but had to leave before the group's late afternoon sightings. However, while driving home on my own at about 3:30 pm, I saw a Rough-Legged Hawk (adult female) flying 40-50 ft. above a farm field on Egypt Rd., just north of Blackwater NWR. This was almost certainly not the bird Pete Webb and others saw well south of the Refuge.
