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 |…
Alice Leurck reports seeing the Redhead in the Boy Scout Platform channel minutes ago. I just saw an Am.Bittern in the channel at No Name Culvert. It flew a little down the channel and landed just before Lake Appert.
And no, no one is really calling the bittern "Bob."
Has one last year on Nov. 9, with pix, here. Rob Fanning says the latest date for an American Bittern at the Celery Farmis Nov. 27.
(Thanks, Alice and Rob!)
