Frigid temperatures and a small break in an otherwise frozen Overpeck Creek, have attracted nearly a dozen eagles to the Ridgefield Park eagles’ nest, and the event was captured on video recording.

On New Year’s Day, approximately 12 eagles gathered in the trees around the nest, according to Stephen Quinn, member of the Ridgefield Park Environmental Commission. A local videographer captured the event, and posted his observations to the video sharing website YouTube.

“These are images one would expect to film in the Alaska Chilkat River Eagle Preserve, not in Ridgefield Park, a mere mile and a half from New York City,” Quinn beamed.
