During a 15 mile Bald Eagle survey today Sandy Spencer & I observed our
first Osprey of the year on the Rappahannock River. The male was
fishing approximately 1/2 mile upriver from Port Royal.
We observed 130 Bald Eagles (59 adult, 64 immature, 7 unidentified)
between Leedstown and Mount Swamp (c. 5 miles above the Port Royal
Bridge) between 0800-1130. The previous Saturday (2.18.06) Fred Atwood,
Sandy Spencer and I totaled 124 Bald Eagles (63 adults, 61 immature)
from Tappahannock to Leedstown until a snow whiteout caused us to
suspend the count at 1130.
