[JPMOYLE18@xxxxxxx]

I've been negligent in posting my sitings along the river.  I have adopted it 
as a regular site to survey.  On 1/24 I saw an immature bald eagle for the 
third time in the vicinity of the Eastman plant.  On 1/26 in Rotherwood 
Estates, 
I counted about 200 black vultures on the ground and in trees along the 
river.  At the same time a kettle of 30+ vultures (mix of black and turkey) was 
circling to the north.  On the same day, in the vicinity of the Netherland Inn, 
I 
recorded 3 coots, 5 dc cormorants, about a dozen mallards and 50 Canada 
geese.  Closer to Wilcox Blvd, I counted 15 gadwall,  7 hooded mergansers and 
about 
20 mallards.  I also had a red-shouldered hawk (1/23) in my yard and two 
Coopers hawks circling over our yard (1/26).
