On today's very cool and frosty morning, with a southerly breeze  
extending an American flag away from its pole for much of the time,  
eight birders participated in an Eagle Watch at Wilder Dam in  
Hartford, VT, as arranged by the Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire  
Audubon. Highlights included 2 adult Bald Eagles sitting close  
together in trees on the New Hampshire side of the Connecticut River.  
Small numbers of Hooded and Common Mergansers were seen. Rock Pigeons  
were the most numerous bird species with a count of 21. Passerines  
included a Blue Jay, 12 crows, 2 American Robins, and 3 House Finches.

Special thanks to Scott Johnson, Vic Henningsen, Blake Allison, Justin  
Hybels, and Ralph Hybels for helping to spot birds.
