[nysbirds-l] Hook Mt.

Hook Mt. 29 Oct. Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) ventured to Hook Mt. on a very bleak morning. We arrived at the top at 10:30 AM as the clouds began to break up. Shortly after arriving, a kettle of mixed vultures rose in the air. This semi-reliable sign produced our first eagle (BALD EAGLE)
