Sunrise light at the Hudson River–Black River Regulating District’s Sacandaga Field Office in Mayfield.
Day 16 brings another crisp dawn outing along the Great Sacandaga Lake, heading over to the Hudson River–Black River Regulating District’s Sacandaga Field Office property off Bunker Hill Road in Mayfield.
It is an expansive, open shoreline parcel that offers broad views across the water. The sunrise itself was quiet and understated—not an explosion of fiery color, but clean, soft early light gradually warming the cold lakefront. The highlight of the morning came just after the sun cleared the horizon, when a perched Bald Eagle took flight, banking south over the water to hunt for breakfast.
