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.

March has come in like a lamb and cleared out the ice from the North River, but some of our winter ducks are still with us. This bufflehead, or as I like to call it, an Orca Duck, was hanging around among the old New York Central piers off Riverside Park South this week.
