On Saturday, Nov 21, eight members and friends of KTOS gathered for a
field trip at Cove Lake State Park in Campbell Co. It was a classic,
beautiful fall day, chilly in the morning and warm by noon, with
mostly clear skies. The highlight of the day had to be the most
sanguine Bald Eagle I've ever seen, who sat in a tree in the park for
a full hour and let us come within 30 feet. It did not even move when
6 American Crows began to harass it. Another Bald Eagle was perched on
the far side of the lake. We also saw a late Green Heron who liked to
pose for pictures, and I particularly enjoyed the Common Loon which
Chris Welsh helped me get a good view of. Surprising absences were
Northern Cardinals and Wood Ducks. Complete list follows.
