I wanted to get to Bombay Hook once more before the weather got too warm, and today looked to be a good chance.
There were plenty of birds to choose from, including many eagles and my first Black-necked Stilt. Â There were hundreds of Sandpipers as well.
Many photographers were there as well, and they seemed to be very interested in the eagles.
