About 2/3 of your birds are on my yard list 1,000 miles south of you. I'm afraid I don't have Bald Eagles wafting by, though...
 
Well here's another one that was on my telephone line this morning. Also I'm questioning if the Flicker is just yellow shafted since it markings seem identiccal to one and I haven't got a good luck at the underwings but it's just really rare to see them.
42. Mew Gull
 
Well here's two odd birds that were both in my backyard this morning at the same time and same tree.
43. Evening Grosbeak
44. Common Redpoll
