--Apple-Mail-27-478450683 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed FEB. 9, 2012 - In late morning along Hwy. 358 just north of Church St., six bald eagles were perched together high and directly over the highway. Then just south of the Canard River, I stopped my car to view another six bald eagles on the ground in an open field. Without my binoculars I would have missed two deciduous trees full of about 35 bald eagles in the distance to the west (nowhere near a road). When I drove back to Port Williams after 1 p.m., all but two of those eagles had dispersed. Port Williams sewage ponds: I snuck up around the treatment building and peered around its south side to view the northern pond -- with about 100 mallards were at least five common goldeneyes (3 males, 2 females) and a single drake scaup -- the scaup flew off before I could scope its head, and I didn't get a good look at how much white was on the trailing edge of the wing -- my guess is lesser scaup, but hopefully someone will get the definite identification later (unless George Forsyth already has?).
