One Saturday afternoon, when we lived in Logan, Utah, we had just returned from a shopping trip to Ogden. We were coming in the house with our purchases and were in the kitchen, when I looked out the door that went onto the deck and spotted a large object in the back yard, perched in a dead tree. I approached the deck and grabbed binoculars-it was a Golden Eagle!
That was probably the best bird I ever got while not birding-probably also my best yard bird ever.

Henceforth to be known as "the merlin wedding" by the few birders present among all the guests! -- Claudia Egelhoff ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
