Re late sightings, we saw a Rough-legged Hawk hunting on Alder island,
just north of Point Lookout on Loop Parkway yesterday at dusk.

Picture posted at http://www.stevewalternature.com/ . Kind of nice that I
was there when it was found, rather than faced with a road trip upon the
news of the discovery. A nice capper to the routine good birds of the area,
which included the continuing pair of Harlequin Ducks sitting among 7 Purple
Sandpipers on the western jetty in Point Lookout. Still a Common Eider here
and there, including a cooperative female close to shore along the channel
between the Coast Guard station and the fisherman's parking lot.
An additional note I have is that of a Rough-legged Hawk migrating high over
Hook Mountain April 18. Quite unusual, but the second of the season there
(in sporadic coverage) -- an interesting epilogue to the winter irruption.
