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.
On 5/22, we were treated with 2 Mississippi Kites.
Also, on 5/16 we had a partial albino redtail with
a white tail and white in the upper primaries.
