As the title announces, at least two BALD EAGLES were seen over Prospect Lake, both came down and actually perched on Lookout Hill, no doubt a great moment for Alex Wilson who reported the observation.
Today's rain and cloudiness no doubt did its work, trapping many bird species to earth, as attested by Alex's report. Some other interesting species to report is LINCOLN'S SPARROW, a good number of PURPLE FINCHES, and 5 species woodpeckers..
