Weather: Partly cloudy with some persistent fog; 76-86 degrees; poor to fair visibility; winds light and variable, sometimes with a southerly component.
Raptor Observations: One Turkey Vulture on likely the last day of the count.
Non-raptor Observations: The biggest sighting of the day was a Roseate Spoonbill! A new species for the Park. Seen by a group on a bird walk as well as by one of our observers, it circled the pond, briefly sat in a tree and then flew north.
Site Description Fort Smallwood Park is located on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Patapsco River, 11 miles south of Baltimore, MD. Best winds are from the southwest.
