Some interesting birds have been around lately. Not sure if its Sandy related, but today along the Hudson River at Harlem Piers I got to see 3 Bald Eagles and about a dozen Northern Gannets.
First this juvenile BE flew over.
Followed by one adult
and its mate!
They continued south for some time and I even watched the two adults engage in courting behavior somewhere over Riverside Park in the 80's. From there, I turned my attention to the River, where groups of Northern Gannets were fishing up and down the Jersey side. I think I saw over a dozen in total. Here in this shot I count 8.
It was impossible to get close looks,
but it was hypnotic watching them coast around and then dive headlong into the River.
I wonder what they are catching?
