Bird Nerd List Update - May 26, 2012

I went camping yesterday with the family and my in-laws.  The campsite was home to hundreds of Yellow Warblers.  There is also a Golden Eagle nesting on the hill just above the camp.  I'm still not great at identifying birds or prey in flight, but this one was known to the camp resident guy.  While Whitney and Dane were fishing at Causey Reservoir with their grandpa, I saw a female Common Merganser.  Not bad for just an overnight camping trip.
