The Highlands Current
I found a new beach area on the #hudsonriver at #BeaconNY today. I was walking the dog at #DenningsPoint and noticed a path going down to the river. Hmmm, how come I never noticed this one before? Maybe i did but this beach area is usually under water. I don't know, but it was a fun find on a nice afternoon.

Earth Day on the Hudson. Grateful for places like the Beacon Sloop Club that keep community, stewardship, and the river connected. Glad to be part of it. #EarthDay #HudsonRiver #BeaconNY

Frozen #hudsonRiver at #BeaconNY. Some kind soul shoveled a narrow path along the Klara Sauer trail which made the walking easier. Gorgeous afternoon, temps finally breaking above freezing for a few hours. Not thinking about the sub zero chill expected next week. Not thinking how the deer are ravaging my shrubbery. The days are ever so slowly lengthening and it will be spring before we know it.
An unexpected find! Today was cold and blustery. Snow & ice recently melted but the ground is still frozen. I wanted to walk out to #DenningsPoint but the trail is closed for the winter to protect nesting birds. Wandering around the back of the old brick works, I noticed a signs pointing towards an eagle viewing blind. After a short walk through the overgrown, former industrial marshland, I came across this shelter which offers a protected and safe place to view eagles. The American Bald Eagle was once nearly extinct in the #HudsonValley but they're making a good comeback. Will have to return with my binoculars one day.
