EagleFest-ivities tomorrow in Croton!
EagleFestEach winter, thousands of birds migrate "south" in search of warmer climates and in particular, warmer and unfrozen waters. These waters become a sanctuary for birds to congregate and use for hunting during the winter months. In the past, bald eagles were unseen in our area. Now these giant birds of prey are making a triumphant return (over 100 are seen at Croton Point Park each year).

How can you catch a glimpse? Teatown Lake Reservation is hosting its 6th Eagle Fest at Croton Point Park to celebrate not just bald eagles, but all raptors that make their way back "home" for the winter. EagleFest-ivities take flight at 8am on Saturday at Van Cortlandt Manor with a FREE bird walk and tour of the Croton River by the Hudson Valley Audubon's Michael Botonick. After your tour of the grounds, meet in Van Cortlandt Manor's visitor center for hot beverages, light snacks, and a number of hands-on craft activities. Then migrate over to Croton Point Park for the Birds of Prey show, storytelling, heated tents for eagle viewing, and much more. Don't forget your binoculars!
