While growing up in Niagara Falls, New York, I often wondered if the warm and humid weather was similar to the constant short-wearing climes of tropical places. Harpy Eagle! The biggest birding news for Costa Rica was a sighting of an adult Harpy Eagle in northern Costa Rica , near Boca Tapada.

It’s not that they don’t still occur in Niagara Falls, New York. Prefer a White-fronted Nunbird or an Ornate Hawk-eagle? Cardinals win us over with stunning colors, a pretty song, and common presence. I grew up with the crested red birds but I don’t see them any more. Snowcap anyone?

It was in the great borough of Queens in New York City that I first discovered both beer and birding, two great loves of my life that happily intersect with great regularity here at Birds and Booze. Poland, of course, is just one of many lands that claims an eagle for its national avian symbol. An eagle (a White-tailed?)

Crawling back to work can be tough, but at least you can celebrate Cyber Monday at the office… While Bald Eagles have become nearly as common as Red-tailed Hawks in Upstate New York in winter, I still thrill to every sighting on the long drive from Rochester to NYC and back.

Spring migration in upstate New York has been picking up this week and I’ve been doing more birding than boozing lately. Just a quick review today. As it probably should be. I’m not sure if the name of the beer is a comment on the appearance of Bubo bubo in Canada but the image is striking in any case.

On my latest trip home my mom and I spent a bit of time talking about Bald Eagles. Mom, who grew up in Cold Spring, was impressed as always by the tally – when she moved away in 1972 eagles were unheard-of. Still, they’re neither endangered nor threatened, either in North America as a whole or in New York State.

People whoever they are (even the most experienced of hawkwatchers) love Bald Eagles – it’s just a given. In my experience if you show a non or novice birder their first Bald Eagle and they will be amazed, show someone their first Thayer’s Gull and they aren’t likely to gasp (sorry, larophiles)!

One of my early memories of birds is the abundance of Ospreys I saw after moving from Syracuse, New York downstate to eastern Long Island at the age of eight. I know that Ospreys nest in upstate central New York, but if I saw them there as a child, I don’t recall it (though my father will probably remind me that we did).
