The bald eagle count is problematic. Due to a large
wintering roost and nesting pairs in the vicinity,
it is unclear how many are migrants, and this number
is likely to be adjusted downward.
Notice the remarkable number of Harriers on 4/8.
Twenty-seven came through in one hour. The first Broad-
wings and Merlins also arrived this week.
