Make plans to go to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge out on Plum Island, which is outside of Newburyport, MA. If you go there before Spring gets here, I believe you will see one. Also try <a href="http://www.salisbury-beach.org/" title="Salisbury Beach State Reservation" rel="nofollow">Salisbury Beach State Reservation</a> where quite a few people have been reporting Bald Eagles. As far as Pileated Woodpeckers, look for long, oblong holes in trees. This is a sure sign that one has been pecking about. Kallen, You want to see a Bald Eagle?

I have two birds that I absolutely have to see this year no matter what. The Pileated Woodpcker and the Bald Eagle. You saw them both in the 4 days you counted. Not fair I tell you, absolutely not fair...... ;o) I would be so happy to be lucky enough to have a pileated in my backyard.

Yes, I have heard of your Big Garden Bird Count. I followed some of it last month. The differences in species is astonishing! There are several species that I saw posted that are species we get on this side of the Atlantic. Tricia, Thanks for stopping by!
