Continuous freezing, snowy weather means one thing to Onondaga Lake Bald Eagle watchers.
Things are peaking with the lake being almost completely frozen over. This coming weekend looks to be prime time for seeing the birds.
Photographer Michael Greenlar, who recently retired from The Post-Standard, has been checking out the scene recently and shared the above photo of an adult baldie he took this week at the lake’s southeastern end. Greenlar said on Wednesday he saw the largest number of birds he’s ever seen on the lake and lots of other photographers and bird watchers.
