The bald eagle count is problematic. Due to a large wintering roost and nesting pairs in the vicinity, it is unclear how many are migrants, and this number is likely to be adjusted downward. Notice the remarkable day on Thursday, 4/16. Winds were from the southeast with temperatures rising into the upper 70's under partly cloudy skies. Sue Ricciardi, compiler susie@idsonline.com
