It’s been a slow winter for spotting bald eagles on Onondaga Lake – until now.
With the recent stretch of cold weather and snow, things have recently picked up, according to Onondaga Audubon officials who are monitoring the birds’ numbers on the lake on a weekly basis.
Since Dec. 1, the total weekly sightings have averaged about two to five birds, said Alison Kocek, vice president of the Onondaga Audubon chapter.
