I'm posting this for Ryan Farrell, who is having trouble 
submitting to MDOSPREY for some reason.  See the eBird 
report below.

Good birds for the lake!  He also mentions that he's seen a 
Bald Eagle on the Paint Branch Stream Valley Park trail 
between Cherryl Hill Rd and the University of Maryland: "Not 
quite fully mature as the head isn't totally white."
