There were fewer than yesterday, but still a ton. There was a chill, but I was dressed well for it. I think with exposure the birds will get used to mg presence. I saw a bald eagle (_Haliaeetus leucocephalus_) for the first time in Florida. They are ugly creatures, of both body and spirit, unlike the wood stork (_Mycteria americana_) which is uglier of body, but pure of heart. There was also some guy getting dumped on the phone and not taking it well. %% If he had a chance of keeping them he really fumbled it calling them a "Doubting Thomas". %%
