[nysbirds-l] Eagles and more at RamsHorn-Livingston Sanctuary
28 Feb, 11:15am: As if seeing Mama eagle on her nest wasn't cool enough, 5 Fox Sparrows were hanging out near the bridge over the RamsHorn Creek. This is the same place I saw them in November. Early migrants or did they never leave...? Approx 1 1/2 hours later, we watched 2 adult eagles over the RamsHorn marsh - one seemed to be chasing the other in a northerly direction. They broke off the chase when the eagle doing the chasing turned to go after another adult eagle, chasing it to the SE. All of this activity was under the watchful eye of the female sitting on the nest. The assumption here is that her mate was doing the chasing. Photos of that bird showed the blue band indicative of a NY-hatched bird.
