Judy Galitizine, Tom Becker and I birded from the Observation Deck at the
Interpretive Center. We then drove to Clark's Cabin to view the Osprey nest.
One adult osprey was on the nest with three nestlings and another osprey was
perched on a power pole nearby. Two adult Bald Eagles were perched on the
fixed weir most of the morning, giving approx 20 visitors nice views, visitors
really get excited seeing eagles in the wild. One eagle took off from the
fixed weir flying upstream and an Peregrine Falcon did a stoop dive chasing off
the eagle.
