Title: Spit today.
Post by: DaveD on February 19, 2011, 06:45:02 PM

Typical day for me at the Spit.

I came across a Snow Bunting that was different plumage than I usually see and there was something BIG in the air far away from me around 4PM as I headed back. Super heavy crop of it below. My best guess is a juvi bald eagle. You have a guess? It was a cold afternoon out there - I hardly saw anyone else!

who would have thought that the spit would be empty.  i've pretty much given up on it.
