ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — A powerful symbol of American wildlife was recently spotted soaring high above Rockland County, as two bald eagles were captured in flight in a striking local photograph.

The image, taken by Rockland County photographer Owey Cramsie Jr., shows the pair of bald eagles gliding through the sky — a sight that has become increasingly common in the Hudson Valley but remains awe-inspiring for residents and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

Once endangered, bald eagles have made a remarkable comeback in New York State, particularly along the Hudson River corridor and surrounding waterways that provide ample food sources and nesting areas. Their presence in Rockland County is widely viewed as a sign of improving environmental conditions and successful conservation efforts.

Local sightings of bald eagles continue to draw attention from birdwatchers and photographers, especially during the winter months when the large raptors are more active and visible in the region.

WEST NYACK, NY — As winter weather brings back memories of snowy days past, residents are taking a nostalgic look back at the incredible snow sculptures created over the years by local artist Mike Conklin in West Nyack.

Following major snowstorms, Conklin transformed piles of snow along Green Road into detailed works of art that quickly became local attractions. Among the most memorable creations were a massive snow turtle and an intricately carved dragon, sculptures that stopped passing drivers and drew visitors from across the area.

The temporary artworks showcased both creativity and craftsmanship, turning ordinary winter snowfall into moments of community wonder and conversation. Photos of the sculptures circulated widely, with residents sharing admiration for the time and effort poured into each piece.

Though the sculptures were fleeting — eventually melting away with warmer temperatures — they left a lasting impression on the West Nyack community and remain a fond memory for many Rockland County residents.
