Hi All,

I got done with some field work early and decided to check Dan's Rock to see what was flying.  Within 10 minutes of arriving I saw and digiscoped one adult GOLDEN EAGLE flying north, followed by another within 7 minutes of the first.   I then got a call about some TUNDRA SWANS at Piney Reservoir, so I headed down that way where there were some other nice birds including 2 RICHARDSON'S CACKLING GEESE.  More or less complete lists follow-

Dan's Rock Overlook
GOLDEN EAGLE  2 adults
Red-shouldered Hawk  1
Red-tailed Hawk  5
Turkey Vulture  ~28
Black Vulture  8

Piney Reservoir
Tundra Swan  31
Canada Goose  ~200
RICHARDSON'S CACKLING GOOSE  2
American Wigeon  2
Wood Duck  7
Mallard  ~20
