Big time thanks to Harry Quinn for his effort today in getting up top to get a count done. Tough conditions on Coon when the snow starts to fly so THANK YOU Harry !! Not many birds on this late season day but Harry did get a nice look at a Merlin that was sunlit underneath against a dark sky background which made it "pop" ! Harry's Bird of the Day selection goes to the immie Bald Eagle that gave a
long, good look at eye level as it glided past the watch site while making numerous flight adjustments due to gusty head winds.
