Subject: [Va-bird] Bald Eagles at Claytor Lake
Greetings,
This evening around 3:00 I noticed a large bird circling over
the water, a 2nd year Bald Eagle. While I was watching it I also noticed 2
other Bald Eagles in the vicinity, I watched all 3 as they moved off to the
north. Then another Bald Eagle comes into view, Oh there are 2 more, and
another! In about 30 minutes I counted 7 Bald Eagles from my back deck. So I
thought it might be a good time to go for a ride on the lake. I went south
about 10 miles and found 5 more Bald Eagles. I don't know if any of the last 5
were repeats or not. However you add them up that's a bunch of Eagles, and the
most I have ever seen here in a single evening.
Also seen were 4 Osprey,1 Cooper's Hawk, at least 50 Blue-winged Teal, 2
Great Egrets, and 4 Double-Crested Cormorant.
Good Birding,
Mark Mullins
Claytor Lake, Va
