On 3.10.08 we saw a pair of adult bald eagles flying over our house in circles at about 5:15 PM. We watched for ˝ an hour. This was on the Black River as it flows into Kayuta Lake in Remsen NY. On 3.11.08 at 8 am I saw an immature bald eagle perched in a tree about a half mile from our house where we saw 2 yesterday. I got on the internet and read that the immatures may hang out near their parents for feeding, so it would not be odd to see one near the adults. I also noticed crows on both occasions, they seem to want to be near the eagles. I did snap some pics, but they are so high up, it is hard to make out any detail. We will keep watching tho.

I work at Silhouette Optical in Green Island, and I feel very privileged to be able to say I get to see Bald Eagles on a weekly basis. They perch right outside our 2nd floor offices in an old tree - at times even breaking off branches and feeding there. And our very abundant squirrel population apparently is much appreciated by the pair that frequent our campus. And they have been seen catching the occasional fish out on the river between us and the golf course across the way. We have quite a bit of a bird sanctuary there - in the past 2-1/2 years, along with the Eagles, we have had Red-Tail and Cooper Hawks, the occasional Sparrow Hawk, at least 4 kinds of Woodpeckers, Orioles, Yellow Warblers and it only took me 50 years to see a living, breathing and flitting Bluebird! And that's not even going into the water fowl...Jeff Lane
Just saw my first ever NYC Bald Eagle!
Flying over World Financial One in lower Manhattan.
WOW.

I have a great view of a resident Bald Eagle near my home in Alma NY. 3 days ago I viewed the Eagle perched on a stump on the eastern end of Alma pond feeding on something. Being new to the area I hope to observe this Eagle regularly. have not had the opportunity to view the two golden eagles here but hope to soon

My wife, son and I saw a bald eagle just down the road from my in-laws house on North Harbor Rd. Adams Center, NY. My sister and mother-in-law had seen it when returning Watertown. I was able to get pictures of it sitting in tree and as it flew away. My mother-in-law says they saw it eating a rabbit.

I was very fortunate to see a Bald eagle Saturday 2/29/08 flying very low over my home in Volney just before noon. Last year I also saw one down by the oswego river. There have been many sightings of them in the last two years in this area. If you have not experienced a sighting, I can only say its quite amazing. They are a beautiful bird.

My husband and I were driving from Lewiston NY to Niagara Falls along the Robert Moses Parkway along the Niagara River Gorge. Just south of Niagara University and the Power Project and north of the Whirlpool park on the West (gorge) side was a bald eagle perched in a tree. First time viewer. It was magnificent....

I was crossing the Chemung River in downtown Corning, NY this morning. I looked to my left (West) and saw a Bald Eagle flying towards me about
20 feet over the car. It was around 8 am and fairly cold (8 F). The
eagle continued going east following the river. I stopped and watched
until I lost site of him. This is my first sighting of a Bald Eagle in
the Southern Tier of NY. I've seen several while going to school in the
Adirondacks.

I go to school in Oswego, NY (SUNY Oswego). I was driving down Lake Street Sunday morning (2/24/08) around 11:30am when I spotted a bald eagle high up in a tree. The eagle was perched there just staring out at the lake. Today (2/25/08) we went for a walk to the same spot, around the same time (12:30pm) and saw the eagle again, sitting in the same spot, staring out over the lake. Someone else told us he had been there for about 1 1/2 hours, we watched him for about 20 minutes until he flew away down to the break wall. I have never seen one in the wild before, let alone seen the same one two days in a row.

2/24/08 - Viewed an adult bald eagle in the trees behind Carousel Center. ( on the other side of the RR tracks) He was perched in a tree above a large open patch of water. Probably a winter migrant from Canada, however we do have a couple nesting pairs within 10 miles. It is great to see them in our area. The peregrines are also doing great, judging from all the pigeon wings being found in the parking lot of our building downtown.

I am happy to say I have seen my 2nd Bald Eagle in my life!!
This time there was one perched in a tree above a carcass pile from hunting season.My fiance took some pictures,although they are not the best pictures it can be clearly made out to be an eagle.I tried to get just a little closer to get a better picture but it fleww off.Now I am going to invest in a better camera,lol.
I live in Sherburne NY and the sightings were February 22nd at 2:30 in the afternoon.

I live in Waterford NY and have sighted bald eagles for the past 4-5 years. I am lucky to have a job working for a hydroelectric plant and I am at the rivers daily. In the summer in Schuylerville NY I have seen them dive into the shallows and take fish from the river. It is an amazing site. I have also viewed the Osprey Falcon around also. The northeast is a great place to view many of the different types of wildlife that have made a comeback.

2/13/08 I was driving north on the NYS Thruway and saw an immature eagle perched in a tree on the side of the highway by a clearing on the median. This was at mile marker 78, just past exit 18 for New Paltz. From further away, I at first thought it was a hawk (there's loads of them on the sides of the road) but then realized it's belly was brown. Then I thought it might be a turkey buzzard, but when I actually drove past it, there was no mistake it was an immature eagle. I was very surprised to see it on the side of the thruway.

I was driving down Onondaga Lake Parkway in Liverpool NY at about 2:45pm 2-15-08 and so a large bird flying over when it got close enough I was amazed it was a bald eagle, Ive been seeing periguin falcons locally now a bald eagle. Hopefully we will see alot of these animals coming back.

There have been many bald eagle sightings in Greenwood Lake, NY over the last few years. In the summer, an eagle can be sighted flying over the mountains and over the lake. In January, when the lake begins to freeze, we often see an eagle standing on the ice for hours, apparently fishing through some small remaining holes in the ice. I have seen the lake gulls (sea gulls) "buzz" him (her?) in an attempt to get some tidbits of fish.
Mary Hoffman
On Monday, January 21, 2008 around 8am I say an adult bald eagle in
Nyack, New York from my apartment balcony which looks North over the
Hudson River. It was quite amazing. He was flying South along the
water's edge. As soon as he neared my apartment building, he then turned
around and perched high in a tree near Peterson's Boatyard. He lingered
there for some time and endured what appeared to be a crow dive bombing
him a couple of times. Then, the eagle moved North of Peterson's. The
following morning, my boyfriend saw the eagle (we assume it was the same
one) again North of Peterson's. We have never seen an eagle so close to
home-and we're happy to have him near!

I drive for a taxi company in Orange County. I noticed that you had someone from Round Lake in Monroe NY spot a Bald Eagle. It could have been the same one that I saw a week or two before Christmas. I had spotted a Bald Eagle on the edge of the ice on Walton Lake in Monroe, NY. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me. Later that day as I was driving by Round Lake, also in Monroe, I noticed him roosting in a dead tree on the island. He hung around for a few hours that day. I continued to notice him on and off for a week or so, again without my camera. On the day that I remembered to bring it, I thought for sure I wouldn't see him, But to my surprise, as I came upon the north end of Walton Lake, there he was! But this time, he had a friend with him. Two beautiful Bald Eagles, right in Monroe.

I live in Park Slope in Brooklyn New York. I spotted a young bald
eagle on January 5, 2008 at around 9:30 am, perched on a tree limb in
a neighbors back yard. It stood there for a while. It was too far
away to take a close picture. Now that I know it's around, I will
keep a look at for it and try to snap a photo.

My family and I were sightseeing this past December (12/29/07). This was in the town of Rifton, N.Y. (Ulster County). I was able to snap nearly 30 pictures of this majestic bird.

I am a professional wildlife photographer and had been using a photo
blind in the Keeney Swamp Wildlife Management Area in northern Allegany
County to photograph migrating waterfowl last spring (2007). Was I
surprised to discover four bald eagles--two adults and two
juveniles--fishing for bullheads in the marsh in late April and early
May. I was able to take almost 400 images during that time. I never saw
any of them again after May 30th.

I've been seeing an adult Bald Eagle and what I believe to be an immature one. I don't know enough about identifying their gender, but I'm sure at least the black and white one is a Bald Eagle. The other is the same size but speckled brown and gray and white.
This is on Round Lake in Monroe, New York.

Spotted many at the reservoirs in Orangeburg NY (Blauvelt and convent rds). There were 4 mature and 9 immature!! Even though the reservoir is low they have arrived. They seem to be happy here feeding in December. This is the 5th year in a row we have watched them here.

My 10 year old nephew spotted a Bald Eagle at the back of our property overlooking a field. This happened in Amsterdam NY a week before Thanksgiving.

11/21/07 we saw a Bald Eagle perched overlooking the Stoney Creek
Reservoir off Englemore Rd. in Clifton Park NY. It was my first
sighting and I was very impressed with the size of this eagle. We
were driving and slowed to look for a moment. I wish I had more time
to observe, but I was working at the time. I hope I am lucky enough
to see it again in the future.

We've seen Bald Eagles on Lake Erie, an hour south of Buffalo, NY. We see atleast a few every year. Friday, September 15th we actually watched one fish in the late morning. Amazing!!!!

This morning, my kids and I saw a bald eagle soar from over the Mohawk River right into our tree in Halfmoon, NY! It was the most amazing, beautiful (BIG!) bird I have ever seen. My kids were absolutely amazed at it's beauty and strength.

My husband, son and I were awakened today by crows screeching outside our house. They were so loud and persisitant that I went outside to try to shoo them away. Imagine my surprise when I looked up in our large tree. There was the most beautiful bald eagle perched on a branch with two large crows also perched on the same branch not even a foot away from the eagle. The crows continued to screech at the eagle as he sat there looking royal and quite unimpressed with their nonsense. The crows finally left and we were able to admire the eagle for about ten minutes before he flew off over Lake Ontario. What a thrill!!

My wife and I saw a bald eagle soaring over the mohawk river on March 10th, 8:00am. We were driving over the Cohoes/Waterford bridge when we saw it. We weren't sure what it was until we saw the white head and tail.
Robert Benac
I live in Dexter, NY. My daughter and I were on our way to Watertown on
Route 12 when we saw the bald eagle. It was right in the front field of the
Watertown International Airport. It was swooping down to grab prey. I
couldn't believe it. I have never seen a bald eagle other than in pictures. It was a beautiful sight.
Melissa Kellner
I have seen a bald eagle in by own back yard ,just yesterday 04 march one flew over I live on route 3 Carthage ,NY right on the Black River, its not the first time I was on the river on mothers day 2004 and there was one eating a fish in a tree on the river he stayed for about 2 days in the area then I saw one yesterday again. We also have an osprey here all the time if the river isn't frozen. The area is very wooded and open in some spots maybe they like the hunting here.
Deborah Turck
We live north of Rome, New York and travel over River Road (near the
Mohawk River) in Northwestern where we have spotted an occasional bald
eagle over the last several years. However, we were thrilled to see 4
immature bald eagles March 2 & 3, 2007 feeding on a dead white tail deer
near the road. Other people in the area have been reporting sightings of
the eagles more and more frequently now!

a northerly direction above the West Canada. Over the past two years bald
eagles have been spotted numerous times in this area.

Mature bald eagle standing on the ice of Lake Ontario, Town of Oswego in front of our campground.
We watched with binoculars as it ate something, then flew low over the water, up and away to the east.
Our neighbor told us he and his wife had seen one in the same area about a week ago.

I saw an eagle this morning- 2-24-07- flying right down Grand Blvd. Near Marble Farms (Edge of Geddes and City of Syracuse Line.) It was flying low, about 40 feet off the ground. No doubt it was an eagle. Amazing!
Kim Thompson
Back on Feb.3rd I spotted one in a tree on 9W in Tompkins Cove, NY.
Since then I have spotted as many as 8 at a time. They are in the tall
deciduous trees overlooking the Hudson River between Bear Mountain
and Stony Point.
Paul Messina
Other people have reported eagles on the ice flows and in the trees at Bowline Park.
On Feb. 17th, 2007 my wife, stepson and I witnessed a lone bald eagle
just outside the town of Fabius, NY.
We were on our way to Highland Forest to do some cross country
skiing . . . almost to the park and there it was.
Flying through the valley, up maybe 150 - 200 ft. Not a doubt in the
world at what we had spotted. It was beautiful!

Elizabeth was not the only one to see these eagles. I was in the same parking lot @ 12:20. I noticed one immature eagle in a tree along the canal, and then when I got out of my car in the back lot there were two adult bird flying above the lot. They were putting on a show, playing tag. It was something I thought I would never see. I wish I had my camera.
P. Marconi
I can't even believe it - I was at Carousel Mall in Syracuse, NY on
2/17/07. I saw 3 birds soaring over the parking lot - and realized they
were bald eagles. I've never seen one in the wild before - let alone 3!
I can't believe nobody else in the parking lot noticed them . . .

Just passing along an immature bald eagle sighting, on Viewmont Road in Germantown NY on Sunday February 11 and Monday February the same immature bald eagle was seen eating his pray. He was very healthy and content to let us watch!
What a sight!

On Saturday the 10th of February I spotted a bald eagle soaring over the hudson river in NYC - while riding my bike on the west side bike path (from battery park to the GWB on the Hudson). I was SO excited - I've seen eagles in Maine, Alaska and the San Juan Islands, but never in NYC!!!
On Sunday I 'think' I saw an eagle on the ice in the river near the bridge!! WOW. I'm now carrying my binoculars and camera when I ride my bike.
:O)

I saw my first bald eagle in November of 2005 on Peeble Island State Park (Mohawk River) in Cohoes NY which is in Albany County. On Jan 28, 2007 on saw one sitting in a tree overlooking Mohawk River on Cohoes-Cresent Road. I went home to get a camera and when I got back it was still there. So I pulled over and took a couple of pictures and when other passersby saw what I was doing they too pulled over. Not one car went by that did not pull over and get out to look at the eagle. Apparently everyone enjoys seeing eagles. Then, on Feb 4, 2007 I was skiing at Woods Valley just outside of Rome, NY and on one of the runs as we got to the top of the hill, I look up and in perfect view is a bald eagle flying right over our heads. The guy in the booth at the top of the lift came out to get a better look because he saw it too. Freezing cold that day with temps about 3 above and wind chill about 20 below.

Saw my first bald eagle circling over the Irvington
Waterfront. It flew around for awhile then landed on

Today, February 4, 2007, just before 1 pm, I saw a mature bald eagle flying east over the Taconic Parkway. I was going north on the Taconic and just before the exit for Claverack/Hillsdale (Rt. 23) there is a long hill going down to the exit. I was below Bauer Road at approximately Palmer Road. The day was bright, clear, cold and windy. While I was still a distance away, I saw the eagle coasting towards the road and was able to follow it as it went overhead and then into the distance. 100% certain that is what it was and it was exciting!

Several month ago I was pretty sure that I saw a bald eagle about 1mile from our house. I reported this to my husband and some friends and was met with great skepticism. Two days ago one of those friends called me to say that she was driving past our house and saw a bald eagle in our yard, she wanted to let me know that I "was right" I reported this to my husband and he now doubted both of us. Yesterday my neighbor saw my husband a told him that he had seen a bald eagle that day in our yard, my husband was starting to become less skeptical. My husband just called me to tell me that he was pulling into the driveway, and there was the eagle, sitting on our picnic table pulling apart a rabbit. So I now have a mess on the table, but my husband FINALLY believes me.

I was driving my car about 12:30pm on 1/23/07 and saw a bald eagle flying over head. I was driving in liverpool, N.Y. (NW suburb on Syracuse.) It first I thought it was some type of hawk but as I got closer and saw its white head and tail I knew it was a bald eagle.

May 3, 2006 - Riding the Amtrak from NYC to Rens/Albany, approximately 4:00PM, spotted to mature Bald Eagles just North of Hudson, NY...about .5 miles a part. Saw the second one take a fish from the Hudson... I have been looking for Eagles since 2003 (I travel a lot on the train). I a cannot believe I saw two in one day and one actually taking a fish!

We live in Greenville, New York - about 30 miles south of Albany - in Greene County. Over the past 5 or 6 years we've seen the results of the project to reintroduce the Bald Eagle to this area - first a nesting site was established near a reservoir along route 32, with an observation area quite a distance away where we could go and see the immature eagles in their nests. After a while they were released. And, a few years later, at least some of them came back. We see them in the area frequently.
Last summer, while canoeing on the Hudson just north of Coxsackie, we spotted several eagles, both mature and immature. Spotted one mature eagle hundreds of feet away perched high (at least 40 feet up) in a tree along the west bank - the white feathres of its head made it very easy to see.
Then this morning, 300 feet or less from our house, I saw a beautiful Bald Eagle perched about 20 feet up in a tree overlooking a small creek that runs parallel to the road about 40 fet away. When I stopped to watch, the eagle glanced in my direction, and then casually dropped off the branch, opened its wings. and sailed south down the creek bed and out of sight. Courtesy of Kris Raskopf
7:30 am, 4/11/2006: A mature bald eagle was perched in one of our backyard trees overlooking open farmland (for 20 minutes or so.) We managed to take a few photos before it flew off. It was magnificent…the first that we had ever seen in the wild. We were a bit surprised that it was so far inland (we are about 30 miles from Lake Ontario.)

Just saw my first Bald eagle sighting this morning while driving a customer home. The sighting was near the three rivers area about a quarter mile from Route 31 between Baldwinsville and Phoenix NY. My customer and I agreed it was a fantastic experience. After reading some of your other observers I now realize that these sightings are not as rare as I once believed they were. Thank you for enlightening me.

3/19/06 A group of us watched a solitary bald eagle soaring above the bay at AuSable Point Park near Plattsburgh, New York. We wonder if a mating pair has established itself in the area or do we still just have isolated individual birds? Anyone up on this? What a majestic sight! Courtesy of Elizabeth Gorevic
I have recently discovered american bald eagles in my area also. I was told about a nest along the Hudson River by the old Ford Plant in Green Island. I went to check it out and spotted two mature bald eagles sitting in tree together. I was so amazed at the sight. It was breath-taking to view this majestic creature in their natural habitat. Today (03-13-06) as I was driving north on 787 when I spotted one of the eagles perched in a tree in front of the dyke between Tibbits and Dyke avenue. I almost went off the road rubber necking!!! I always look in those particular trees because there are normally hawks perched there. Anyone who drives this route regularly... keep your eyes open... they are amazing!!!

March 8, 2006 - Wow! I just saw my first wild bald eagle soaring in a low
circle over Route 202 in Somers, New York. I thought it was a vulture at
first but then noticed its flat flying profile and couldn't miss the white
head and tail as I drove under it. Amazing sight - I parked off to the side
of the road and watched it for a bit. It was probably only 100 feet up when
I first arrived, but slowly rose on an updraft until I could barely make out
its head. It seemed to squeak whenever I walked around to get a better
view. Very cool!! Courtesy of Sarah Martin

My husband Dennis and I were sitting in our car parked in front of the
gate to the Bennington Battle Field in Hoosick, NY. Dennis was looking
at the sky and saw a very large bird flying toward us; as we watched it
come closer and into view I realized the head was white and then we
both realized that it was a Bald Eagle! Then we saw the white tail too.
We watched as it circled around above us, it wasn't very high and it
was a beautiful sight. We were both so thrilled, the first one we had
ever seen in the freedom of the air! And our ages are 54 and 46. We
went back on Sunday and walked up into the Battlefield and as we were
standing up there on the top, we saw another Bald Eagle soaring, it was
high, but we could see the white head and tail. What joy!! Courtesy of Tina Bradley

On MArch 4 2006 while driving north on 5th avenue in Troy New York I spotted a Bald Eagle around 103rd street Heading from east (Oakwood Cemetary area) to the west towards Waterford across the Husdon river. I was amazed as this is the first Bald Eagle I have seen in this area. The bird was quite large. At first I thought it was a hawk but then I saw the white head. I was actually in disbelief. I did not think there were any in this area. Very Cool!

for small animals. I heard a bird call I had never heard in my life. When
I looked to the left over the creek, a mature bald eagle and a young bald
eagle were soaring together and making sweeps over the creek. It was
absolutely one of the best experiences in my life. Courtesy of Nora Nelson
While traveling back to Johnstown, NY from Hinkley, NY, on February 23rd, 2006, I spotted 2 different Eagles about 30 minutes apart. The First sighting was at around 2:45 PM just about a 3/4 of a mile East on Route 8, where Route 365 intersects with the Rte 8. The Bald Eagle was just landing in a tall tree as I approached. As soon as I stopped, he flew majestically across the river. Then a half hour later, on Rte 10 approximately 2 miles north of the Arietta Hotel, between the 2 parking areas, I saw another magnificent Eagle perching in a tree being harassed by 10 or 20 crows.

Two Adult Bald Eagles and one immature have been riding the air currents
above my window. I have been watching them for close to thirty minutes as
they soared on the wind. Not a wing moves in the deep flapping beat I am
used to seeing yet they rise and fall, circle and soar high above the river
then down through the trees. They too seem to be reveling in the respite
from the storm.
The eagles are along the Mongaup River (NY). We see eagles most days as they

I have seen eagles in a few places, some already mentioned here. But the spot I have seen them regularly for the past 3 years is Lake Tappan in Orangeburg NY. There are a series of lakes in this reservoir system and every year for the last 3 there have been numerous sightings there from dec-Feb. This year I have seen many mature and immature as well. To view go to to convent road and look to the south. At this spot last year we saw 7 at one time..including one diving for lunch...so cool! Courtesy of Jane Stormes West Nyack

I live on the west side of the hudson river in New York. I see a pair of bald eagles 3-4 times a week. I start my mornings on the river side with a cup of coffee expecting to see these beautiful birds flying so gracefully. If I stay long enough im sure to spot them. They take my breath away everytime I see them. I hope everyone who sees them feels the same way I do, because I worry about there safety and there surroundings and would hate to see something happen to them. They are truly amazing to watch fly and hunt. Courtesy of Louie deOlde
Jan. 6 2006 - I just saw my first Bald Eagle out in the wild while cross country skiing in the corn lot behind my house in Schoharie, NY (30 miles southwest of Albany, NY).

Just south of the Port of Albany, we witnessed a Bald Eagle chasing another bird in flight, with what looked to be a fish in its mouth. It looked like a scene from an old WWII airplane dog fight movie. The one bird looked like a seagull of some sort, but we know it can fly faster scared than the eagle can fly mad. The eagle chased the bird north over the Hudson for a good 3-4 minutes but seemed to tire and gave up. It didn't look to do very well with all the turning and wing flapping. When it finally gave up it turned south, flapped its wings two or three times and soared for about a mile then turned into the tree line. That's when we lost sight of it. We are not sure if the one bird stole the eagle's food or it just had something the eagle just wanted. This happened on Jan. 2, 2006 around 2 pm. Courtesy of Scott MacGregor |
