Re: [SBB] trying again for a few birds

Mike,

 

On Saturday, 04/21/07, I saw one of the Bald Eagles feeding one or more nestlings.  How I would love a bird's eye view of that nest!  On the way down I saw your probable missing Rock Wren. 

 

Congratulations to you and your team for an excellent birdathon!

 

Peggy
