My passions have long been birding and photography. Now that we are retired, my wife and I can spend more time travelling, and of course, doing more birding and having the opportunity to photograph new birds and new environments. This site will chronicle the year 2008 in words and photograhs, and through the site I hope to share some of our experiences in the natural world. While we live in the lower Hudson Valley, our images will not be limited to that locale. Indeed, this year found us in the south, in Peru, and in Thailand. We aren't sure where we'll end up this year.
We will be starting in New York as we will be monitoring the influx of the Bald eagle into the Hudson Valley. Each year, as the northern waters freeze solid, the eagles venture south in search of open water and food. The lower Hudson around West Point and points south offers just what the birds need. Generally, the eagles show up in mid-January, but this has been a colder than normal late fall and early winter, and already, the eagles are making their presence known. So, I will begin posting regularly in January (unless something exceptional happens earlier here in the valley). We look forward to having you spend the natural year with us.
