I commute to NYC via the train that runs along the Hudson River from Croton-Harmon station. Today, the day of "the blizzard that wasn't", was the first day this winter I have seen more than a single bald eagle. Eight bald eagles, both immature and adult, perched in trees above phragmites on north shore of Croton Bay (southeast of Croton Point Park's capped landfill).
Still no permanent river ice so will be curious of numbers increase. Did a run by George's Island (Montrose, NY) last week at the time they typically come into roost for the night and saw none. Are people north of Peekskill seeing greater numbers?
