As you probably know, the Chesapeake Bay area is the best place in the lower 48 for Bald Eagles. Other MD birders might be interested in your Kent Count report ... I'll take the liberty of forwarding your message to "MD Osprey", the local listserver for MD birding. MD Osprey subscribers ... If anyone has comments for Guy, you might want to reply directly to him, since he may not be on the list. Thanks for your report, Guy, and for the two digital images.
