..........especially if you hear crows and gulls being extra vocal. You might see a bald eagle. I saw a bald eagle soaring overhead when I was last downtown, it did not seem disturbed by all the noise crows and gulls were causing around it. Beautiful sight.

Promise.....

.......it will rain again soon. And that eagle I saw was on a half cloud half sun day. 

The thing to do is to squint and shuffle, keep your head down, only look up with one hand shielding your eyes from above. Muttering helps too so people know to give us some room, in case we pass out from all the blue and sun.

There's a bald eagle or two

There's a bald eagle or two hanging around Ken Lake. I saw it a couple times in the last few weeks, once sitting on my roof, once playing ball at the field.

Incidentally, I think the Black Lake meadows is the best birding spot in the city. At least, it was before they took all those trees down. I've not checked since then. Last time I was there, however, I counted two birds of prey of some sort and two herons, along with a swarm of tiny birds I'm incapable of identifying.
