Bald Eagle (immature).

Two hikes today: an early one with jack, and a later one with a class of enthusiastic fourth graders. A heap of fun, a squirrel named “Frank,” and a nice view of a soaring young Bald Eagle.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
