The Hudson River in winter attracts thousands of ducks and geese and a variety of birds of prey including Bald Eagles, both Black and Turkey Vultures, hawks, and even ravens. BAS board member John Askildsen will guide us to several locations along the river for a leisurely and entertaining day of wildlife watching. This field trip coincides with Teatown Reservation’s EagleFest see http://www.teatown.org/eaglefest.htm for more information. Bring lunch or purchase it at a local deli. After the trip, be sure to stop by the DEP and Bedford Audubon’s warming tent at the Croton Dam off Route 129 in Croton-on-Hudson. We will have a spotters and a spotting scope there from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Degree of Difficulty: Easy.
