Dear All

I stepped outside for my mid morning cuppa and saw a nice Red-tail and 
Sharpie go over the house (Van Ness DC) in five minutes so I went up to Fort 
Reno (nr the junction of Wisconsin Ave & River Rd in NW DC) which was quite 
productive.  In one hour, from 1.30-2.30 I saw:

Red-tail          9
Turkey Vulture 2
Black Vulture   1
Sharpie           6
Cooper's          8
Bald Eagle        4

All the birds were clearly moving except for all but one of the Cooper's and one 
of the Bald Eagles.  Lovely day...
