Six tree swallows were observed late this morning at Black Rock Park, Croton-on-Hudson, Westchester County.
Observed for 30+ minutes swooping over same small area of the Croton River. Perhaps getting an early aquatic insect hatch of some sort? Seems rather early for that (and the swallows.) Link to video clip via iPhone/scope: http://vimeo.com/87688634 Great views also this morning at Black Rock of three immature and 1 adult bald eagle successfully fishing in same area. Earlier in the morning, a total of 17 bald eagles were seen perched in different areas of Croton Point Park, 5 adults, 12 immature.
