2024 LOCAL EAGLE SHOT

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short Everything Croton.

The local eagles really do like the snow and the ice flows on the river---this one, possibly a female, seems to enjoy hanging out in this tree now and then.  I have gotten lucky quite a few times---using the telephoto---and my patience has been rewarded with some great shots.  Click on the photo.
