There’s not very much going on in the area these days. On Saturday morning I went to Reservoir #3 in Port Jervis to try for Red Crossbills again, but didnt’ have any luck. My consolation prize was a nice and somewhat accommodating flock of Pine Siskins. That’s a species that I don’t get too many photos of, so I enjoyed that. Also of note on Saturday morning, I went to the Liberty Loop where I had at least (6) Rough-legged Hawks. It’s been a while since we’ve seen those types of numbers in our area.
I put a lot of miles on my car on Sunday morning, but it was mostly unproductive. The only notable observation I had was seeing that the Tundra Swan was still around – I found it on the banks of the Wallkill River on Celery Avenue.
