Woods Reservoir Trip

From the chilly shores of Woods Res, the SNHS spotted the following feathered dinosaurs. The loons and the eagle were the highlight. I've never seen so many loons in one spot! The eagle circled several times, really close, then dived down to get a yummy dead fish, then flew off again. Great looks at this incredible bird!
