Best Spots to See Eagles in New York

Feeding Ducks and Geese Bread Can Lead to Wing Deformities and Even Death
You've done it. I've done it. We've all done it... Who among us hasn't gone to the State Hospital grounds in Evansville and casually tossed bread crumbs to the geese, thinking we're doing them a favor? Or those spontaneous chip offerings to the ducks chilling at Alcupulco in Newburgh? Seems innocent, doesn't it? I mean, they seem to enjoy it, gobbling up every crumb.

Julie Byrne Storm King Arts Center Concert Review
Serendipity ruled the day last week when my wife Irene Fizer spotted an upcoming outdoor concert taking place in the Hudson Valley, featuring the singer-songwriter Julie Byrne and the harpist Mary Lattimore. Irene and I had been planning to check out the event space–the Storm King Arts Center in New Windsor, New York–for quite a while, as we’ve passed the Center several times over the past few years, on our way to DIA-Beacon. So, we felt fortunate to secure two tickets a few days before the show, and we started to plan what to pack for our al fresco dinner. Although we missed the chance to partake in the picnic specials offered by several food vendors at the Center that night, we filled our own picnic basket with some gluten-free treats, and then set out for an easy hour-and-20 minute drive north, from our home in New Jersey to the Hudson Valley.
