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.
