Good day birders,
I read Lisa Meyers post and want to tell you that today I was coming home from birding around Guadalupe Oak Grove where I got my target bird the Hooded Oriole. In thirty minutes I had 23 species.
I decided to go to Lake Almaden to check on things there. Those who know me know why I go on a daily basis.
While stopped at the red light at Coleman and Almaden Expressway I saw the gulls were all over the sky. Looking from the inside of my car I spot the Bald Eagle. I believe it was the 4th year female.
I am now hanging out the window to take photos. All of a sudden from my right flying low over Almaden Expressway to Lake Almaden was the male Bald Eagle. The sky was loaded with gulls now. What a treat!
I was never so happy for the 5 minute red light!
I went into Lake Almaden to park my car and to check on things and bam…. The Bald Eagle is over the lake. I told a couple and they were so thrilled to see a Bald Eagle in our neighborhood.
Hoping to spot this bird for my SCVBA Birdathon day on April 24 for the Almaden Eagles.
