I actually just had to count on a map...14 or so...some are more like overpasses than bridges and a few old railroad trestles.  But I'm dubious about a pair nesting on every bridge.  There's 2 other bridges right in the TH-Record area-Newburgh-Beacon & Kingston-Rhinecliff-and they only reported on the Mid-Hudson.  I've never heard of a pair on the Kingston-Rhinecliff and I've spent a lot of time at a park right under the bridge.

But then again, there is absolutely no organized birding or bird reporting in this county.  I'd have to travel several hours to Bonnie's area to find a group.  Bizarre.

thanks dumster for your bridge count---so there about 10 bridges w/ nests
that's pretty good--may they all thrive
