Good question since there ARE many vultures hanging out in that area :-).
But seriously folks, around Point of Rocks, Maryland, and out along Route
7 towards Leesburg, there are quite a few raptors waiting for the prey that
is being driven out by all the new construction out there.  I'm just afraid
that when the construction is finished, the hawks will go elsewhere and we
won't be able to watch them.
