Mike, nice find of the Bald Eagle. Looks like you three had a good day. We had our first Redstart here this morning and our first Hooded Yesterday.

It was a foggy morning but it soon cleared up to be a nice day. We had some good species today, one of which was an Adult Bald Eagle flying/hunting over the lake. The care taker who watches over the area said he has seen the Eagle in the area for about two years now. He said it hunts regularly there; and he sees it often in a section of woods in the area: makes you wonder if a nest is in the area. The complete list from today is below.
