Went to Verplank this am to look for eagles and boy was I rewarded. I had ca. 40+ eagles of all ages flying, sitting on the ice, and in trees. Such great birds. So many winter around here now. I love it! Also seen there were a imm. Snow Goose and Peregrine Falcon as well as many Common Mergansers. After seeing the eagles there I went to Croton Pt. Park. Only had three eagles there, two adults and an immature, but the adults gave incredible close looks. Gorgeous. Also seen were a Northern Harrier, Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Saw-whet Owl, and two Great Horned Owls dueting. So cool. As usual for me no Screech-Owl though:-( Andrew Andrew v. F.
