[Bristol-Birds] A Double Eagle Day

Mike Hagy (Abingdon, VA) and I saw two Bald Eagles at Hidden Valley Lake this 
morning (May 29) while conducting a Birds in Forested Landscapes (BFL) survey. 
One appeared to be an immature bird, while the other appeared to be a 
first-year adult. Hidden Valley Lake is located on Brumley Mountain, Washington 
County, VA. (Hidden Valley WMA).

The BFL is a "Citizen Science" project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The 
purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of forest fragmentation on the 
breeding habits of birds deemed of "conservation importance." There are 24 
species on the eastern forest habitats list (e.g. Sharp-shinned Hawk, 
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Wood Thrush, Cerulean Warbler, Acadian Flycatcher, 
Hooded Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Veery, Canada Warbler--just to 
name a few)
