Famed NYC Hawk Sees Bald Eagle Soar By

Sometimes seen in the Bronx, the hawks soaring that is, though not sure if it were the Pale Male I've seen, since I once phoned one in dead (before 311) on the Bronx River Parkway by the zoo and botanical gardens. Out in Suffolk County in Smithtown are two bald eagles a male and female that were wounded, one in Alaska that are kept in an outdoor "flyway". Bowdoin Park, formerly J.P. Morgan's plain summer place in Dutchess County, was once a wildlife care center, on the Hudson River ("DEC releases the Hudson River Estuary Wildlife and Habitat Conservation framework") and has since moved to a larger space nearer Kent, NY. The greatest congregation of raptors (and cougars or mountain lions) I've seen are in the New Hampshire Science Center in Holderness, NH near Squam Lake where "On Golden Pond" was filmed. When I was younger, hiking up the "Saddleback" behind Timber Lake Camp, where I washed dishes in Allaben, NY, I stepped out on a rock ledge and my face and a hawk almost shared the same space. At least I didn't fall hundreds of feet to a certain death or get scratched! Here's a report on New York State's report on the recovering bald eagle population, our Nation's symbol (wild turkeys are also being reintroduced and they are asking people if they are seen anywhere please call them and report them even if only a few. Years ago I saw them on the Taconic Parkway by Oliver North's NY place, more recently at the West Point Military Academy and a whole brood of them on the Carroll County Farm in New Hampshire looking for the mattress factory).
