The Allegany/Garrett Countie's Bird Club had a scheduled field trip to 
Town Hill today (Sat. 10/14).  I met Ray Kiddy at the Park n Ride at 
7:30 am and we were later joined by Charlotte Folk, Kathleen Helker and 
Dave Powell.  The hawks were slow early in the morning but flights 
picked up after 10:00 am.  We stayed from 8:00 am until around 1:20 pm.

I also found a dead Barred Owl on Old Route 40 while travelling to the 
hawkwatch.  It had probably been hit by a car.  It did not have any leg 
bands on it.

Good Birding,
