The Latest from State Line
Spent 90 minutes at State Line yesterday. The lookout was mostly a ghost town. (That will surely change soon.)
Things picked up around 3 p.m., when I saw four Bald Eagles, five Ospreys, and three Peregrines (the Beast, a hatch-year PEFA, and one I only saw the silhouette so not sure).
Spotted Lanternflies were everywhere.
One young man was flying a drone. I pointed out the sign that said it was illegal, and he (politely) said he had just seen the sign and was stopping …
Also saw a guy on the edge of the cliff with his toddler. (Apparently didn't see all the signs.) Some behaviors never change.
P.S.: I just read where Barry Higgins, Rob Helder and Jim Reilly trimmed the sumac that was partially obscuring the view. Thanks, guys!
