Have you ever seen a majestic eagle soar over your head. Mark your calendar: the 8th Annual Hudson River EagleFest is scheduled for Saturday Feb 4th. The Journal News listed the EagleFest as one of the “Must Do” activities of 2012.
This great event which takes place at Croton Point Park is a great opportunity to see Bald Eagles flying free in Westchester. There will be 8 Eagle watching sights along the Hudson River staffed by knowledgeable birders armed with powerful spotting scopes to answer questions and give you close-up views of eagles. Last year there were over 100 eagles in the area.
In addition to the eagle watching sites, two theaters will provide a variety of in-door programs and presentations including Live Hawk Shows, Eagle natural history programs, and I will be doing a talk at 1:30PM on “how to choose the right binoculars for you”. I will also lead a birdwalk at 9:00AM. There are a variety of programs and activities for children and adults. It is an excellent outing for the whole family. Costs range from free to minimal. There are programs from 9:00AM until 3:00PM.
Plan to attend. Call Teatown Reservation for more details call (914) 762-2912
I hope to see you there.
