Observers:
Weather: Cloudy with snow due to move in; 1-6 degrees; good visibility; winds westerly 5-14 mph
Raptor Observations: Our first Osprey of the season! Although, one was seen on February 26 after the observers had left for the day. :(
Non-raptor Observations: The spring hawkwatch has started up again for the season. Please join us as we can always use more eyes on the skies! Lots of waterfowl bayside and ducks on the pond.
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.
