PHOTOS, WINTER RE-CAP, EAGLES, SKATING, HELLO SPRING

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Wow, what a winter. Let's re-cap!

EAGLES!
Frankly, we just can't remember a better Eagle Season; it started early in November and really took off in January and February with the best spots being Georges Island and the Verplank waterfront--where they just floated on by. As you can see from the photo, we eagle photographers get a little nuts in our quest for that perfect shot! And let's not forget the eagles that took up residence in the trees adjacent to Ralph & Dave's throughout the month of February. (Updated R&D has closed.)

ICE SKATING @ THE DUCK POND
Despite a prolonged never ending stretch of bitter cold, the Duck Pond was sadly not prepared by the village for skaters as often as it should have been--and with less than timely notice to the public the few times it was. This was a problem last year as well.

Kudos however to the Washington Engine Co. (and Recreation Department/DPW) for their efforts--see your all volunteer fire department in sub zero temps at the pond here http://on.fb.me/1F43WVm

ROUTE 129, THE ICE WALL
Right up there with the Croton Dam, a natural wonder without fail.

Spring begins March 20th and for many of us, 
not a moment too soon!
