[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Bald Eagle North Conway- Brown Creeper Silver Lake/Madison From: jmullen43(AT)comcast.net Date: 22 Dec 2009 11:11am Ed just called to say he had a Bald Eagle fly over Route 16 near Shaw's. Meanwhile I am feeder watching while doing holiday baking. There was a Brown Creeper in the yard (it made an appearance last week as well). Black-capped Chickadees (3), White-breasted Nuthatch (1), and a male Downy Woodpecker have been active. Ed saw Dark-eyed Juncos while out with the dog.B Feeder action is much slower than in Burlington, MA.B We had 13 different species in a single day there. Happy Holidays to all- and good birding in 2010. Jean Mullen Silver Lake/Madison jmullen43(AT)comcast.net
