Legs were feeling a bit better today, so I risked a ride this evening on the bike path... I figured I'd be OK with since the section between the old Niskayuna landfill and Island View Rd in Colonie is fairly flat. Spotted the usual bunnies and a woodchuck along the way... I may have glimpsed an eagle flying across the river, there was a large dark bird which didn't move like a heron that I saw briefly before it disappeared behind the trees. I did see an eagle perched in a tree further down the river later in the ride, most likely one of the juveniles that I've seen several times this year (the white feathers haven't come in on his head and tail yet.)
