Harford County celebrated Earth Day today with a celebration in Havre de
Grace. The Harford Bird Club had an exhibit in the main tent and I had
my scope set up overlooking the Susquehanna River to give people looks
at the birds in the area. The big hit of the day was a nesting Bald
Eagle with at least 2 young. The nest is actually in Cecil County on the
Perry Point VA Hospital grounds or nearly so. Although the nest was
probably a mile away, my 75X Celestron gave decent looks at one parent
bird which obligingly stayed put all morning and early afternoon and at
least 2 little heads that popped up periodically. It was some people's
first look at an eagle.
Other birds seen were:
Osprey nesting on the Amtrak bridge
DC Cormorants
Mallards
Red-breasted Mergansers
Coots
Bonaparte's Gulls
Ring-billed Gulls
Herring Gulls
Tree Swallows
Barn Swallows
