Love this. You can see tons of bald eagles from the Amtrak going along the Hudson. The first time it happened, I thought it was a magical fluke, but then it kept happening, dozens of eagles, just flying and sitting in trees, every time I rode the train!

Love this post, thank you. I can't not put in a quick plug for a new film on DDT in So Cal (https://www.outofplainsight.com/) - the story is more complicated here.

It's been a week of small bird-related miracles here too. I laughed out loud recently while watching two whimbrels, usually all business, chasing back and forth along the water's edge. One had found a crab among the algae and seagrass that had washed up on the beach, and was parading back and forth with it dangling from its beak, seemingly not quite sure how to eat it. The other whimbrel was in close pursuit. Then there were the hummingbirds and orange-crowned warblers that kept landing within arm's reach while I was up in our guava tree last weekend to prune it. No respect :-)
