Strong west winds brought what can only be described as a truly phenomenal push of Bald Eagles as witnessed by Mike Hendrickson, Peder Svingen, Ben Yokel and me. Final count of 588, including a kettle of 46 and 167 in one hour, represents a new single day record. Adding to the excitement was the local Peregrine buzzing formations of eagles including a one on one aerial clash with a SubAd. Golden Eagle.
