Dave Lord et. al. report:
"A pleasant day and a lot of birds greeted those who joined the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Raptors of the Bayshore program. 17 Bald Eagles were had, an impressive number for four short hours of birding. So were the dozen or so Red-Tails, and 3 Red Shoulders seen throughout the day. However, the highlight of the trip award will be given to the Dark Morph Rough-legged Hawk seen on Glade Road. The non-raptor highlights were the 12 or so Common Goldeneye at East Point. A great day to celebrate life at it's finest along the Delaware Bayshore. Karen Johnson, Janet Crawford, Chuck +Mary Jane Slugg, Carrie Bell, and Dave Lord were leaders."
