Two more Count Week species: Kevin McGowan found 2 Cackling Geese at Stewart Park this morning, and I just saw a report from Marsha Kardon that the Eastern Towhee was at her feeder area on 31 December. If only it were also there on the 1st, too, it would raise the count day total. On a different note, yesterday I saw 2 almost-adult-plumage Bald Eagles (dark brown bodies, white heads & tails but a narrow dark stripe near the tip of the tail of each) perched together atop a big Sycamore by the bike path between the golf course and Renwick near the parking for anglers. They flushed but settled again on a tree across the creek in Renwick. Maybe they are a young couple looking for a nest site. --Dave Nutter --
