I stopped by 6 1\/2 Station Road Sanctuary after work today. It started out slowly, particularly because I was hoping for shorebirds and found NONE. But,\u00a0in the end, it was a relatively productive day with 25 species being identified.\u00a0Here’s my list for the day and some more photos:<\/p>\n

And now to catch up a bit. On Sunday evening I got this shot of a juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron at Wallkill River NWR:<\/p>\n

Then, on Monday of this week, I stopped by Mount Peter Hawk Watch and got some decent birds including an adult Bald Eagle and a juvenile Northern Harrier. On my way out, Linda Scrima alerted me to the fact that there were some shorebirds at the Wallkill River NWR:<\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>
One of these things is not like the others…. 6 Lesser \u00a0and one Greater Yellow legs at Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge, 9\/15\/14. \u00a0Totals were 8 Lessers and 2 Greaters.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Tuesday I stopped by Mount Peter again and got very lucky. Tom Millard and I had a total of 278 Broad-winged Hawks<\/strong> and 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks from 4:00 to 5:00. Then on \u00a0Wednesday I had some business in Wappingers Falls NY, so I stopped by Denning’s Point on my way back. It was not very birdy, but I did get a shot of this young buck:<\/p>\n
