Today I birded from my yard from 9:15 to 11:25, and then from 12:30-1:15.  I 
had 52 species (listed below).  It was very windy and cold, not good birding 
weather but there were birds out and about.  Highlights were 6 grebes 
(together, unusual to see more than 2 at once here), 6 bald eagles (once 4 
adults were visible simultaneously, once 2 im's. were soaring together); a 
peregrine falcon (probably the same HY bird Bill H. reported; it stooped twice 
on an adult eagle while the eagle was flying with a very large catfish, forcing 
the eagle to land with its catch - but then it left the eagle alone), a hooded 
merganser (first of fall), field sparrow (first of fall here), and purple finch (2).
