Hi Bill, they come for the winter to Iona Island by Bear Mountain Bridge, I go to see them there sometimes, and I have been on top of Hook Mountain above Nyack where I can look down on them from above where they are hunting. Great to see them back in this area!!

Nice shot Billb. We are starting to have Eagles in our area, and they are a thrill to spot and watch. Such a beautiful - regal looking bird.

I have a nest of them right behind my house here in Florida. I watch them everyday. They have a couple that just hatched this week. They are always out by my pond looking for food

On the Susquehanna river by the dam near The Chesapeake there is a bunch of pairs. There is a official eagle watching area there. Pretty cool for a western boy.... ��

Nice image!

I live on a hill above the Chenango River and work at a plant on the Susquehanna River. It's not unusual for me to see four eagles on my commute into work. 40 years ago if I had told someone I saw an eagle hereabouts they would say I was certainly mistaken.

Really have made a BIG comeback in this area. I'm seeing what I'm pretty sure are ravens in among our common crows. Egrets, Osprey, Harriers, just a great deal more birds i the last two decades in this area.

Sadly, our trees are taking a clobbering. Emerald Ash Borer, Gypsy Moth, Lantern Moth (fruit trees) Hemlock fungus and wooly adelgid, longhorn beetle, some kind of spruce fungus. Just dead and dying trees everywhere. Like 20% in some areas are failing!

And then there are ticks! Milder winters make going outside March through Novermer potentially hazardous to your health!

Once in a while we see them paying a visit to the bay out of the house, a sight I will never get tired of seeing. Though the Blue heron is a daily, and the Osprey is a weekly sighting.

Yes Charlie even here we have the same issues with the trees, and can't even keep up with the cutting up for firewood.
With having 30 tree'd acres we have a standing rule as not to be out on the sugar bush trails on a windy day.
Too great of a chance something is going to come down, a small 1" limb from 40" up is an ouch!
