Re: [nysbirds-l] Bald Eagles at Croton-on-Hudson 1/27

2015-01-27 Thread Ryan J. Bass 
Weighing in from Putnam County, I take the Metro North Hudson Line train
from Garrison to Grand Central Terminal. As of this past Friday (01/23),
there was a lot of ice between Garrison and Peekskill. That stretch is very
productive: there were approximately (8) Bald Eagles, mostly adult birds,
but I did not record specifics. This past Sunday (01/25), driving through
the Annsville Traffic Circle in Peekskill, there were (5) Bald Eagles. I
personally noted that the numbers began increasing the 3rd week of
December. Looking forward to tomorrow's commute! I'm anticipating the #'s
to be up as the developing ice pushes them south.

Cheers,
Ryan

RE: [nysbirds-l] Bald Eagles at Croton-on-Hudson 1/27

2015-01-27 Thread Matthew Rymkiewicz 
On Sunday morning, in 45 minutes at the Norrie Point Environmental Center in 
Staatsburg (N of Poughkeepsie, S of Rhinebeck), I saw 8 bald eagles - 6 imm, 2 
adult. They were loosely grouped not very far north of Esopus Island, 
maintaining their location by flapping north now and then as the ice flowed 
south.

I stopped by George's island Sunday 4 pm for first time this season (I spend 
all day there for Eagle Fest -- this year it's Saturday 2/7) and there were ten 
eagles perched. No ice at GI but there is river ice around the bend at Verplank 
pier, also at Charles
 Point and up to ansville circle (Peekskill). The ice should only increase and 
move further down river w expected week long cold front. This morning with the 
non snow event (at least on river side of northern Westchester) there were some 
eagles  scattered around
 croton point, a few tree sparrows, good numbers of goldfinch, and 8 horned 
lark; Blackrock park (just a bit off Rte. 129) had many gadwall and ring necked 
duck also 2 pied billed grebe.
