Hi all, Jay McGowan and I (later joined by Kevin McGowan) did an hour long hawkwatch, that Ken referred to, at Sapsucker Woods yesterday. We had a few BROAD-WINGED HAWKS, several SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS, AMERICAN KESTRELS, NORTHERN HARRIER, BALD EAGLE, DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, and COMMON LOON and

Hi Donna, First is the where employees park (where handicapped parking is), the second is the employee lot near the exit from the parking areas and the third lot is the one near Route 13. I hope that clears it up! We're so used to having all the employees just know, I didn't think it would be
