After yesterday's 340 Broadwings, I was checking the skies over 
beautiful Downey Dale Drive, Randallstown frequently today. From about 
8:10 to 9:10 I saw 80 Braodwings. Unlike yesterday's fairly 
high-flying hawks, these were lifting off and kettling from close by, 
probably from the woods behind Church Lane down to Milford Mill Park. 
Consequently, it was very easy to see their markings - about as good 
as it gets. I also saw two Kestrels, a Northern Harrier (I'm pretty 
sure), and two very vocal Red-shouldered Hawks.

Then nothing except one Osprey the rest of the day. But in 
compensation I had 3 very active warbler species in the shady back 
yard around 4:30: Parula Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Black-and-White 
Warbler. Surprisingly, these were the first warblers I've seen 
actually IN my yard this season.
