2014-07-08 Thread Lake, Thomas R
LoraKim Best chance to see a Bald Eagle right now is just about equal anywhere, although the farther upriver you go, i.e., Putnam and Orange counties ... the better the chances. They are almost certainly all out of their nests by now so there are probably 25-30 newly-fledged immatures

Larry, et al. A day for Snow Geese! I counted seven hi-flyer flocks across an hour in midday ... 6 of the 7 were Snow Geese. Here is an odd occurrence in midday over Fishkill: A V-flock of Snow Geese was heading SW while a V-flock of Canadas was heading due south. It looked like a collision
