Monday, Sept. 2 - 8-9:30 a.m.

Visible from the first parking area in the East (Main) Metropark, two bald
eagles (1 adult and 1 immature) put on quite a show this morning--fishing
and  eating.  Also a great many of each:  great blue herons,  great egrets,
wood ducks, green herons, DC cormorants, and belted kingfishers  were
present.  Oops!  Don't want to forget the ring-billed  gulls.

At the north end of the "lake", we had close looks at greater and  lesser
yellowlegs.  Also seen at a further distance were pectoral,  semipalmated,
least, and solitary sandpipers along with many killdeer  (hoping for a
semipalmated plover).  Wishing for rain to keep the  mudflats attractive to the
shorebirds.  Had a flyover of 2 coopers  hawks.  Also, a fellow birder had
pictures of 2 red-shouldered hawks  (1 mature, 1 immature) sitting in the
half-dead tree immediately to the  west.

Happy birding,
Ed and Bev Neubauer, Dean Porter, Eileen Roberts, Rick Asamoto, Mary &
Stan, Kurt Stein, Lee Reed, and several other birders whose names we haven't
memorized yet.
