It’s been a slow couple of weeks, but I’m optimistic that things will start happening pretty soon. The only birds of note that I had in the past couple of weeks was (8) or so Least Sandpipers at 6 1/2 Station Road Sanctuary on Sunday 07/19/26. The highlight of the birding weekend for me, however, was spending some time with a pair of young Barn Swallows at the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge’s Liberty Loop platform. Linda Scrima joined me as we observed and photographed this captivating pair of young swallows.






Adorable!!!!!
