For the past several years, there has been a nesting pair of Eagles in the Johnson Park area. They are frequently spotted near the top of the largest tree between the pond behind the Johnson Park zoo and the Raritan River (see above). The Eagle is seen 2-3 times a week on this tree. On rare occasions, you will see two Eagles in this tree.
During the winter the Raritan River by Johnson and Donaldson Parks is host to many “winter” ducks including Buffleheads, Common Golden Eye, Common Merganser, Red Breasted Merganser, Hooded Merganser, and occasionally Common Loons.
Buffleheads were seen off Johnson Park by the John Lynch Bridge in mid November.
