As the birds are becoming more reclusive and quieter, it’s time to look more closely at our other summer residents…bees, dragonflies, and butterflies for example.

Many of our migrating birds have bid us adieu as they continue their journey north. But, we still have those who will spend the summer here with us.

‍ ‍ Nice late spring day to check out the local flora and fauna in neighboring Fort Montgomery.

Success! The Barn swallows at Silver Mine now have young and are busy tending to their needs.

‍ ‍ A quick tutorial in distinguishing between two common summer wildflowers - Common yarrow and Queen Anne’s Lace.

As new species of birds become harder and harder to find in the warmer summer months, we turn our attention to other natural wonders…

‍ ‍ Mother Nature is binging in a new cast of characters as a new generation of avian fauna take the stage.

‍ ‍ We begin the month of June with a quick trip out to one of our favorite locations, Silver Mine Park.

‍ ‍ Down to Piermont Pier in search of a reported Black scoter. No scoter, but beautiful looks at a Bald eagle.
