--Boundary_(ID_cDSyEHLnXf6kbZwHwqSEeg) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT JULY 26, 2009 - Pat and I walked from "Penney Beach" (east of Avonport, s. of Avonport Beach) almost to Horton Bluff. Pat spotted an adult BALD EAGLE carrying food and flying along the beach eastward toward the lighthouse, and behind it a PEREGRINE FALCON caught up to it and repeatedly harassed the eagle as far as the light. We also saw one or two small flocks of PEEP SHOREBIRDS, the flocks numbering about 35-40 birds each. It was about 3 hours before high tide. I was delighted at the parking area at Penney Beach to HEAR a "singing" NELSON'S SHARP-TAILED SPARROW repeatedly. It was a real treat to hear this distinctive Maritime sound for the first time in over a decade and perhaps two decades. This may have been just a coincidence of being very close to a singing bird, OR it just might be more evidence that my recent upgrade to a new hearing aid model, after my 4-year-old unit for my right ear died.
