This season’s field trip to view wintering bald eagles around the Delaware County rivers and reservoirs is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 13. The trip explores area rivers and reservoirs where eagles concentrate around open water in the region to feed. Past trips have turned up 20 - plus birds. Other raptors and waterfowl are usually sighted also. The group will stop at a local restaurant for lunch for those interested.
This year’s trip is again open to the public and participants can register using the form located at doas.us/events/eagle-viewing-trip-with-doas

The trip will leave the Dietz Street parking lot across from the YMCA in Oneonta at 8 a.m. Participants can also be picked up en route in Delhi and Walton. Return to Oneonta will be mid- to late afternoon. Carpooling is strongly encouraged. Carpoolers: be prepared to follow COVID protocols while ride sharing based on driver and passenger preferences.
