After 2 days of good Broad-winged Hawk flights over Havre de Grace, we had high hopes as 
we arrived on Monday the 17th. We set up at the Concord Point Lighthouse,across from 
Perry Point, where we saw the previous day's kettles forming. We were disappointed seeing 
no Broad-wings at all! Perhaps the winds coming from the east had a lot to do with the 
flightless morning. By noon we had seen only 3 BWs, single birds very high. The local Bald 
Eagles were still abundant, but migrants were scarce. It will be interesting to visit the 
HAWKCOUNT.ORG website to see what other hawkwatches reported today.

On Tuesday the 18th we will probably set up at the Lockhouse Museum and hope for a 
better day!!
