A Convocation of Eagles at Teatown
Each winter between January and March, bald eagles from Canada and northern New England fly south to the Croton and Hudson rivers to feed on prey found in unfrozen rivers and reservoirs. To celebrate our national symbol as well as the return of these spectacular birds of prey, Teatown proudly presents its first Festival of Eagles. At Teatown and Surrounding Locations:

Lantern Hike
Saturday, February 19, 8 - 9:30 p.m.
By the soft glow of lanterns we'll walk to the dam on Teatown Lake and back to the Nature Center. As we walk we'll listen for owls and other creatures that may be around on a winter's eve. If you have an old-fashioned lantern, bring it along - no flashlights please!
