Good morning, all-
Here is the report for the Bald Eagle Big Sit! which will be shared with
the world at large via Park Educators Michelle White and Daria Beggs...
The Bald Eagle Big Sit! took place at the Winter Launch of Bald Eagle State
Park from 7:00am to 6:15pm on Sunday, October 12th. The day started with
Park Educator Michelle W. and Park Volunteer Autumn K. just before dawn. A
low, heavy fog hung over the valley, shrouding us in low lighting. Despite
this, our group persevered in heavy coats until the sun broke through in
earnest. As noon approached, the valley warmed up and Park Educator Dara B.
joined the group. As the day waned, new local birders joined our group and
wrapped up our watching as the sun dipped below the Appalachian Front. From
our vantage point, we had a great view of local Bald Eagles perching in an
evergreen tree. Large numbers of American Crows visited throughout the day,
with their calls drowning out calls of smaller birds. A major highlight
were Yellow-rumped Warblers passing through the Launch area and cheerily
visiting the tree at the pavilion. Full checklist and notes are available
online at https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Febird.org%2Fchecklist%2FS279156242&data=05%7C02%<7CSCBIRDCL...>%7Cdebb51a59d0647b6d63c08de0a6db340%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C638959663428067626%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=xErwRtuS4Tnev5qUrxf61eH0%2BkMnkOK6YFAVpPeWZOc%3D&reserved=0.
