Re:[nysbirds-l] [MidHudsonBirds] Bald Eagle nest - Hudson, Columbia County
Thanks for the heads-up, Rich. In the past, DEC put up “No Landing” signs and other eagle nesting warning signs on Rogers Island (under the Rip van Winkle Bridge) and on other dredge spoil islands in the river. Can’t hurt to ask them to do this again, but as usual, enforcement is always an issue.
