Flying high – again

June

Ã‚Â

The National Audubon Society is predicting the bald eagle will soon be taken off the Endangered Species Act, a step that the environmental group says will be hailed as “one of the greatest conservation success stories of the last 50 years.”

Audubon says it will be releasing data from its century-old Christmas Bird Count database showing that after having gone nearly extinct in the lower 48 states, bald eagle populations have risen in every state.

Check out a couple of the high-profile and high-living birds, as photographed by my colleague, Peter Carr. Apparently they like Haverstraw.

For more on the bird, log onto Audubon.org along with photos and other multimedia.

I will have to go birdwatching in Haverstraw…interesting news! we often see eagles soaring in the Catskills, but I’m thrilled to know they are in Rockland in good numbers.
