[Denise Ryan <savetheocean@xxxxxxxxx>]

A quick stop off on the way to shopping around 3pm resulted in the following 
birds.  The winds were making my eyes tear up constantly, so getting a good 
look at some of the more distant birds was difficult.  In particular, at first 
I thought I saw an Osprey come flying in, but in hindsight, it was probably a 
third-year Bald Eagle.  The eye stripe was very prominent and the face seemed 
very white around that eye stripe.  Hope someone else keeps a sharp eye in the 
area as we may have a late Osprey.
