The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…

We had a very exciting record on Sunday on Mount Peter. Had to call our founder, Stiles Thomas to tell him.
To think that from the late '50s through the mid-'80s, we were happy to get one, two or even three Bald Eagles over our lookout.
What a feather in our caps that we have cleaned up the environment for these lovely creatures to increase and produce today's record.
And seeing 8 Sandhill Cranes from the lookout isn't bad either!

(Great job by Judy and her hawk-watch teammates!)
