An osprey, not often seen on this section of the estuary, was fishing on the North River near the Boat Basin Marina on Friday morning with the apartment buildings of North Bergen in backdrop.
Observations on the Hudson River as it passes through New York City. The section of the Hudson which passes through New York is historically known as the North River, called this by the Dutch to distinguish it from the Delaware River, which they knew as the South River. This stretch of the Hudson is still often referred to as the North River by local mariners today. All photos copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.
