Was at Crown Point Park near the museum this afternoon and saw a large raptor in a tree near the open water around the Champlain Bridge. Lots of geese and ducks there too. My first thought was a bald eagle, but the bird did not have the distinctive white head and tail, was more mottled black and white. A juvenile eagle? Are the Ospreys back? There is a nest near there. Will take binocs over next time and try for a better look.
