Still ~30 Trumpeters in Hudson along with at least 9 Bald Eagles (only two adults) bickering on the ice, none landed on the huge nest nearby. A few Ring-billed Gulls were sailing around.
A pair of Osprey were flirting north of Stillwater above the Heron rookery which was empty yesterday, but today had at least 50 GBs checking it out (my personal sign of spring). On the water were Mergansers, Hooded and Common, and some Common Goldeneye. Lake Alice in William O'Brien had two pair of Trumpeters and some Ring- necks. On the way 5 Redtails, one Coopers and a possible Northern Harrier (too quick to be positive). Rough getting a good look at anything in the air, none of the kids at WOSP could even keep their kites flying! Spring has begun. :) Steve-O
