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.
