All -

I went to the lower part of Triadelphia Reservoir after work hoping to run into one of Joe's Bonaparte's gulls. That was not to be, but the bald eagles were out in force. There were 14 in the air at once and probably more total.

As Joe noted earlier, there's a deer hunt tomorrow, and the reservoir is closed the rest of the year. Brighton Dam will be the only access until spring.

Cheers,
