Thank you to everyone who ever served in the armed forces in service of this great country, including my dear father (go Air Force)!
Today was an official BirdingPI.com holiday. Staff did what they usually do on a holiday, however, which is go birding. BirdingPI.com unofficial motto: “underpaid and underworked.”
Conditions at Presque Isle State Park were less than ideal – windy and hazy turning to overcast. Still, Canadian Geese, light Sparrow activity, Brown Creepers, White-breasted Nuthatch, etc. Generally in the area (including Millcreek Township), lots of Blue Jay, Robin, Dark-eyed Junco, and Tufted Titmouse activity. Very little in the way of Gulls or Ducks. Of special note, however, were a pair of mature Bald Eagles along the Long Pond Trail. They flew away immediately, hence minimal photos, but it was great to see them far up in the sky on a day like this, even if only between the trees/branches.
