Teatown's 20th Annual Hudson River EagleFest.

The program includes thrilling live bird shows spotlighting birds of prey, bird walks where you can view eagles through spotting scopes, heated tents filled with educational displays and exhibits, crafts and games for children, food trucks, and more!

We look forward to celebrating together with Bald Eagles as they descend upon Hudson River during their annual winter migration.

Bird Walks

Come along on one of our bird walks led by bird experts around Croton Point Park. Walks will meet outside of the main pavilion. Bird walks start at 9:30, last bird walk at 2:30.

Despite the temperatures, ice, and snow, dozens of bird species call this park home during the winter season, from Northern Cardinals to American Kestrels to Bald Eagles—and beyond! With a bit of luck, we will be able to observe many of them. During this birding trip, we will be walking slowly through a portion of the park, checking out shrubs, trees, water, and the sky.
