Last week I talked with Charlie Bright at his shop at Rt 590 on the Tow Path. He said there were fewer Eagles this past winter. Comfirming what I had seen. Only a few birds early in the winter.
One thing that Charlie was concerned with was the new staggered season opening. I think only time will tell on both eagles and opening days.
I am concerned with the color of the rivers. Both the Lackawaxen and the Deleaware are greener than past years. The Lackawaxen has quite a bit of green mossy crap around the edges. This has been growing every year since the first flooding year a few years ago. There are far fewer early bugs around. Usually there's alot of small black and brownish stones around. I've seen only a few and they are real small. Probably normal.
