[<paulatheo@xxxxxxx>]

Yesterday, we saw three bald eagles soaring in the Canton area of Trigg County 
while we were traveling on Hwy. 68 near the Cumberland River bridge to LBL.  I 
live in Oceanside, CA now but lived in Cadiz in 1977-79.  It was very thrilling 
to see these beautiful birds, especially three!  It would have been unheard of 
to see bald eagles back in 1977 so it is a tribute to those involved in 
conservation efforts here.  

We were on our way to Honker Bay at the time to see the gull.  I am fairly sure 
that I saw the the bird, it was near the mouth of the bay but the light was 
fading and I didn’t have a scope.  I saw plenty of Bonaparte’s gulls so 
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t one of those that I saw.  I hope to go back on 
Friday afternoon and get a better look.  

Is it possible to do much birding at the Ballard Co. WMA now?  I would like to 
see the snow geese.
