12 baited camera traps are operating this winter in New York as part of
Todd Katzner's Appalachian Eagles project. At a site in Madison County
an unusual dark-morph Red-tailed Hawk was photographed on 19 January by
Kevin Pace. Tom Carrolan provides a link to a good photos of this
interesting bird at

Good numbers of both Golden and Bald Eagle are being observed at sites
in Delaware and Otsego counties this winter. One of the Otsego County
sites recently recorded a Red-shouldered Hawk - a rarity in winter in
the colder regions of New York and the first for this project in our state.
The project has been active in New York since 2010. More information on
the project can be found at www.appalachianeagles.org, including
photographs from many of the sites. Anyone interested in participating
in this project in the future should contact me off the list.
Note: We do not disclose the locations of sites to keep them from being
disturbed.
