Black Friday is for the birds...at least for me it is. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day than birding. It was quality over quantity around the Wilds today. Highlights included a GOLDEN EAGLE spotted from the Jeffery Point Bird Station actively hunting within the fenced area of the Wilds. A MERLIN was seen along Coal Hill Rd. Other sightings... Red-tailed Hawk - only 1 Rough-legged Hawk - 2 Northern Harrier - 2 Trumpeter Swan - 4 Ring-necked Duck - nearly 300 ZERO Short-eared Owls were seen.
