Yesterday evening I went to Shenandoah National Park to look for bears. I didn't see any bears, but I did get some nice birds. On a hike, I saw a young Bald Eagle fly overhead. Young Bald Eagles have mottled white against a brown plumage, where adults have a black body, and a white head and tail. On the drive out of the park, in the dark, we saw something on the road. I thought it was a HUGE frog, and papa thought it was a bird. Papa turned out right, it was a bird, and it was a Wood Thrush. The bird was in the road, so we carefully picked him up, and put him on the side of the road, where he would be safe. He flew very short distances, and we couldn't see any severe injured signs. I think he was just shocked from having flown into a car, or something, but will really be okay. We sure can hope!
