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.

A double crested cormorant sat atop Hudson River lighted buoy number 3 off Riverdale on Wednesday evening. This buoy marks the western edge of 35’+ deep channel here. Towards the Jersey shoreline from here low tide depths taper from the 20’s to the teens on charts.
