A nice steady day at Audubon Greenwich today, highlighted by our third
Golden Eagle of the season. The bird was spotted at 10:38 being harassed by
a Red-Tail over the Audubon Center. Tomorrow also looks promising with NW
winds persisting but cloud cover might be minimal. Some extra eyes would
certainly be helpful in order to spot as many birds as we can against blue
sky.
