Earth Day 2014
Six years ago I had a detached retina in three places. It took six months to heal. I was on my side for three of those six months. I am so happy to be able to photograph my local birds. Happy Earth Day!

Perfect End to Project FeederWatch
Croton Point Park never gets tiring. Project FeederWatch at Croton Nature Center is always entertaining. One more day to go, but I had to put these up today. The birds just sit close now as they wait for me to fill the feeders.

California Time
The 77 degree weather was a welcome relief. Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Alviso was outstanding in the early morning light. The smells reminded me of my childhood there.

All I Wanted Was One
… good picture of one of the three harriers at Croton Point Park. Yes, the eagles are still around in big numbers. The elusive brown creeper showed itself, too.

A Day on the Hudson
A picture is worth a thousand very cold words. Yes, the eagles are still here. It’s too cold and icy where many of them live.

The Hudson River eagle count today = 75 at low tide. Croton Boat Ramp, George’s Island and Verplanck, Charles Point are the places to be. Our red-tail is getting ready to go to nest.

Snowbound
Large numbers of eagles remain on the Lower Hudson River. My view this week was from a distance, except for first grade eagle watching on Tuesday. Also, please take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count. You can go to a nearby park that has a feeder and just count for 15 minutes.
