Stopped by Elkton Marsh after dipping on the gulls at Northeast Town Park. Both a Dark and a Light colored ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, put on quite a show. The Dark we initially spotted in a cedar tree alongside the marsh, then flew across us alongside the marsh. Quite a show! My husband was able to get some shots of the Dark. I don't have too much experience with Rough-leggeds, but the Dark looked like an adult, very dark individual, with contrasting dark and white below. I did not see the distinctive wrist patch as shown in Sibleys, as the juvenile. Port Deposit still had the WHITE-WINGED SCOTER. Beautiful day to be out with low wind.

Just posted my birds on e-bird. Looks like the MERLIN I had at Elkton Marsh was flagged as rare.

Sorry all, The Black phased Rough-legged hawk was actually perched in a deciduous tree, next to the solitary cedar tree. I need to look more carefully at my e-mails before I press send!
