A Visit from my Grandson
I had the wonderful privilege of my youngest six year old grandson making a visit. He will probably be a big time birder. We went out two days in a row and he had the patience and persistence to just keep watching. He could have hung in there much longer than I. We got to…

Swallow Me Up
The backlash of Hurricane Irene arrived carrying very strong winds. I was hoping to see eagles soaring and enjoying the air above the Croton Train Station Boat Landing. The swallows along the Senasqua Bay part of the Croton Bay at the boat landing were hanging onto the trees as best they could. I have posted…

Hurricane Irene is For the Birds

I got very excited when I thought an immie eagle was overhead at the Paddlesport Park. It was just another one of those numerous osprey sitings. This time the bird…

Looking for Eagles
The weather is fabulous today. There is sunshine, low humidity and temps in the 80s. The Hudson River sparkled. Just missed a flock of swans swooping overhead as they checked out a new landing spot. The little birds stole the show. The eagles were in hiding. Swans at Croton Boat Landing Train Trestle, 2011 Seagull…

What’s Happening
The rain has finally stopped after two and a half days. Low tide on the Hudson River will be in the mornings for a couple of more days. I am hoping to catch a glimpse of our resident eagles and/or their fledglings. While waiting for the rain to stop, I finally decided to photograph my…
