My Column: State Line Hawk Watch
A view of State Line Lookout and the Hudson River beyond in Alpine. By Jim WrightSpecial to The Record |…
Walked out to the Warden's Watch at lunchtime today and thought I'd do an update.
The American Wigeons were still
nearby, along with three American Coots and many, many Mallards.
A pair of Northern Shovelers (above) swam nearby as well.
In the distance: 6+ Green-winged Teal and many Gadwall.
The Great Egret is still hanging around (a fall record by at least 10 days at this point).
