According to a Wikipedia distribution map in the NYC area they're more of a winter resident, and then fly elsewhere.

I so associate those eagles with "elsewhere". And that sure makes sense with the extreme decline in NYS by the '70s.

When they were in Inwood park they didn't have their later distinctive white feathers yet.

It'll be a surprise if I ever see one here!
If I do see one I'll let you know. 👍

My sis photographed a red tailed hawk on her fire escape. We thought that was pretty exciting.
