Sunday Shots, 03/01/26

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.

  1. Matt, those Rough-legged Hawk pictures are amazing! Great work. Hopefully things start picking up soon.

    1. Thanks Silas. I’m hoping we maybe get an influx of Snow Geese in the next couple of weeks – that’s always exciting. Matt

      1. For sure. Interestingly enough, I haven’t seen a single snow goose this year. See you out there soon.

        1. Hopefully that will be rectified this week, fingers crossed. See you out there. Matt
