This season’s field trip to view wintering Bald Eagles around the Delaware County rivers and reservoirs is scheduled for Saturday, January 18, 2025. The trip explores area rivers and reservoirs where eagles concentrate around open water in the region to feed. Past trips have turned up 20+ birds. Other raptors and waterfowl are usually sighted also. We will stop at a local restaurant for lunch for interested participants.
This year’s trip is open to the public, and takes place mostly by car, with a small amount of walking on level ground. Conditions may be snowy or icy.
Carpools and caravans will leave the Dietz St. parking lot across from the YMCA in Oneonta at 8:00 a.m. Participants can also be picked up en-route in Delhi and Walton. Return to Oneonta will be mid to late afternoon. Carpooling is strongly encouraged.
