today, walt fowler, john and kirsten askildsen birded several spots on the Hudson River shore of n.westchester county, from peekskill bay to croton point park. this was a day of casual birding and we did not focus on covering every location possible.
we were quite pleased with the outcome-about 200 bald eagles! there was an amazing 106 individuals at peekskill bay, as viewed from charles point/fleishman's pier, peekskill, alone. i have never witnessed such a congregation as we did today. "impressive", is an understatement.
with my knowledge of the river and BE's haunts, i would imagine that a check of every nook and cranny, would have produced 230-250 individuals.
