On Sunday morning, in 45 minutes at the Norrie Point Environmental Center in
Staatsburg (N of Poughkeepsie, S of Rhinebeck), I saw 8 bald eagles - 6 imm, 2
adult. They were loosely grouped not very far north of Esopus Island,
maintaining their location by flapping north now and then as the ice flowed
south.

I stopped by George's island Sunday 4 pm for first time this season (I spend
all day there for Eagle Fest -- this year it's Saturday 2/7) and there were ten
eagles perched. No ice at GI but there is river ice around the bend at Verplank
pier, also at Charles
Point and up to ansville circle (Peekskill). The ice should only increase and
move further down river w expected week long cold front. This morning with the
non snow event (at least on river side of northern Westchester) there were some
eagles scattered around
croton point, a few tree sparrows, good numbers of goldfinch, and 8 horned
lark; Blackrock park (just a bit off Rte. 129) had many gadwall and ring necked
duck also 2 pied billed grebe.

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?
