We had a great walk at Laurel Hill on Sunday, which beautiful weather, some truly eagle-eyed birders and looks at six (count 'em, six) Bald Eagles and lots of other raptor action.

Also had a couple of Ravens and plent of jets, for you football fans out there.

  The shot at left is of three of the eagles heading off into the distance, Just to see three eagles in a pair of binocular's field of vision is a rare treat.
