Hello all
The Augusta Bald Eagles flew high & low during the KC . It was hot & windy for
the day & we all as teams really had to look for the birds . At one point
during the challenage the temps climbed higher than our species list . The
biggest help to our team was scouting for 2 days & mapping out a route to
follow .The biggest thing is being in the right place at the right time . But
all in all after 17 hrs. in the field we tallied 125 species for the day . Big
misses for our team were Redheaded Woodpecker , Phoebe , Meadowlark , & all
things that pesky House Finch that stayed out of view . Below is our list of
