    A small group assembled on the Triadelphia Dam this morning in
hopes of relocating any scoter. The birds were very un-cooperative.
The COMMON MERGS. were scarce and stayed up the channel. However, the
BALD EAGLES put in a fine showing with 2 adults and 3 youngsters. A
3rd year bird caught a fish and ate while we watched in the scope(s).
The only new bird we found was a single GREEN-WINGED TEAL that flew in
with a flock of 20 AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS. A PILEATED gave us a nice
show as he perched in a tree right off the dam.
    A quick check of Centennial park tallied an almost identical list
to yesterday. A single GADWALL was found. The water was much more open
than yesterday.
