Prospect Bald Eagle sighting today; Pectoral Sandpiper recs

From Klemens

Dear Peter,

 frustrated after missing the RHWO this morning for the 5^th time (would be a lifer) I started photographing falling leaves until a second year Bald Eagle flew by over Nethermead to brighten my day. Photo attached.

Warm regards,

Klemens


** KB note: looks like a 2nd year bird
