Re: [nysbirds-l] Bald Eagles/Hudson River

[Chrissy G]

A trip on the Metro-North today from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central allowed
us to see at least 50 Bald Eagles and by the time we we passing Peekskill
Bay we couldn't even count any more!  It was quite spectacular!

[nysbirds-l] Gyrfalcon- Gardiner NY

[Chrissy G]

I found the Gyrfalcon this morning on the Wallkill River in Gardiner NY.  I
stopped to look at some Canada Geese in the open water, found one Snow
Goose, a few Mallards and a Bald Eagle.  A bit upstream on the ice, I found
the Gyr eating what looks like a duck. I watched it for about 15 minutes
and a Bald Eagle flew over it and it flew away.  I even took  a terrible
photo through my binocs with my cell phone,

I could see it circle the large island in the river so I have a feeling it
didn't go far.  It's the only open water in the area which has some
waterfowl, so perhaps the Gyr will feed here for a while.  There aren't
many good places to pull off the roads in this area so please be respectful
of people who live here and don't block roadways.

Gardiner has a few eateries and businesses so please patronize them and
show them that birders are great visitors!
