The following photos were taken at Turkey Point in Elk Neck State Park, MD, on October 1st, 2005. These birds did not appear to be migrating- they were flying on a thermal without any real movement southward while we watched. A bald eagle was flying with them too.

This bird was preening in a tree near the path to Turkey Point on October 26th, 2008. It was there when I walked in to do my hawk watch session, and it was still there about 4 hours later when I left to go home.
