[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Eagle and Peregrine

Hi all, This morning Tim Lenz and I visited Stewart Park between 8:30 and 9. We couldn't see the Western Grebe, but we did get nice looks at a distant RED-THROATED LOON swimming with the DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT. Other highlights were an adult BALD EAGLE that flew by and landed above Jetty Woods,
