Eagles are back in the Hudson Valley. This morning there were 5 at Ossining train station, 2 between Ossining and Scarborough (station) and 5 more between Scarborough and Philips Manor. One perched the rest on ice or flying low over it. I would imagine far more north of Ossining
Saturday 2/9 is the 14th(?) annual Eaglefest with the majority of festivities at Croton Point Park (organized walks, birds of prey demonstrations and other stuff). There are also spotters with scopes at various other concentrated spots e.g. George’s Island Park (Montrose), Steamboat Pier (Verplanck), the Croton Dam (amazing for its stone architecture alone). I realize readers of this site are not surprised by eagles in the Hudson valley so close to NYC but you all have friends, family, colleagues who may not be aware and there are still oohs and aahs to be had when an ice floe comes around the point at George’s Island with 8-9 eagles jockeying for position. So may it stay cold (not Minnesota cold) and maybe suggest to folks to check out Eaglefest L.
