Not a great showing of birds on Skinner’s this morning, except a fair flock of
mixed warblers. No expected vireos or flycatchers. We found birders viewing
the eagle nest from the trail, wide open now from tree damage. An immature
Bald was soaring the air space over the nest with vocal responses from the
parent on the nest, a bird maybe from a previous brood.
