Bald Eagles in Inwood Hill Park

Thursday, September 21, 2006

2006 Release Update

All 4 eagles have taken off!

It was no surprise that A-16, our most active and confident flier, was the first to leave. On August 17th, he crossed the river to New Jersey, to spend the weekend in Montammy Golf Course, and then continued northeast until he reached Lake Ontario around August 28th. He is slowly moving east along the shore.

On September 6th, A-17 began park hopping. He visited Morristown National Historical Park, in New Jersey, followed by Leonard Harrison State Park and Lyman Run State Park in Pennsylvania. By September 13th, he was at Lake Erie. He has not made any major movements since then.

On September 7th, A-15 flew across to the New Jersey Palisades, not too far from A-16’s first stop. She spent some time along the Susquehanna River, south of Binghamton, NY and is currently at Adirondack Park, south of middle Saranac Lake.

The last eagle, A-18, was ready to take off on September 12th. She is currently in southern Pennsylvania, west of the Susquehanna River.
