Re:[nysbirds-l] Eagle expedition
Another spot that I have found more reliable for both adult and immature bald eagles is George¹s Island Park, slightly north of Croton Point off Route 9A. Last week there were two adults and four immatures perched in close proximity. Also, last year, I spotted a Golden Eagle therebe on the lookout for those.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Eagle expedition
One has to know when and where to look. The lack of ice has, I think, kept the lower Hudson Valley bald eagles spread out. With the onset of sustained cold temperatures creating ice on the reservoirs, the bald eagles should be more and more concentrated as they seek edges of open water/ice. Yesterday, Sunday 2/7, my wife and I saw 1 immature at Croton-Point Park and 14 at the Croton Reservoir from the dam (3 adults and 11 immatures) All were sitting on the ice and most required viewing through a 20-60X scope to be seen clearly. We also spotted an adult coyote wandering around on the ice. On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 8:47 AM, Brien Hindman wrote: > I live on Croton River, and haven't seen much eagle activity this > winter.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Eagle expedition
I live on Croton River, and haven't seen much eagle activity this winter. I've only seen a few immatures. Some years seem to be better than others.
