I took a break from work and did a mini-hawkwatch in the field across from
our house in Brooktondale from 1300 to 1415. I was just about to bag it,
when a large, dark bird appeared to the NE, moving SW, at a distance. Not
sure until the sun pooked out and a bright golden head blazed forth = GOLDE
I did a hawkwatch from the hill at Sapsucker Woods today at lunch

well as dozens of Turkey Vultures, a few Red-tailed Hawks, Cooper's
Hawk, Sharp-shinned, Northern Harrier. This was all with warm weather
and sunshine, but despite

scummy water.
Also checked the "new" eagle nest in a tree on the point south of Mud Lock. An

Hummingbird at the Schlabach home between 9:40-10:50 am. today. It is a

Donna and all,
I assumed it to be a young male, but after seeing it, posting, and THEN
reviewing Jay's posts as well as the Sibley Guide, I thought it was a female.
