Hi all,

  Early this afternoon, I finally got out to do some birding in and around Black Hill Regional Park in Clarksburg.  While driving to the park, I saw a road kill deer which had a number of Common Crows attracted to it and a few Turkey Vultures, so I studied them for a while. (yes, the gruesome doesn't bother me). I also birded the boat ramp & the dock at visitors center. Waterfowl very plentiful. Two adult Bald Eagles sat on their usual location at the Rt.121 bridge.
