Jen - Sharp-shinned Hawk is unrecorded in Worcester County in summer.  Breeds in far western MD.  Interesting if true.  Cooper's Hawk is regular (if scarce) breeder. Where was the location, as most of the drive would be in Somerset or Wicomico counties.
 
Nighthawks are very local as breeders (only known to nest on Assateague at present). Where exactly were they and what were they doing?
 
Thanks as always,
Mark Hoffman
