Happy Father's Day,

I spent the morning at Hog Island...what a beauty of a day. The wind was blowing enough that it kept the flies off as long as you were in the wind. I started down a couple trails, but the bugs were so bad, I turned around. Bald eagle activity was pretty good, though most were down the trails I didn't walk. Saw at least 20 different birds, most were juveniles. Heavy activity of osprey as well.

Had a good selection of birds on the day.
