Rob sez: "40 species Thursday morning. 6 warblers incl. Wilson's at Greenway. Bank Swallow seen again..."
Full report follows.

Also had seven Common Nighthawks fly over at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Rob sez:  Highlight during a quick trip around the CF this morning were a pair of BLACK VULTURES--my first August record for the CF. After not seeing any at CF until a few years ago--I now have records for 8 months (Jan--May and Aug--Oct)

A briefly seen Cooper's Hawk seemed a bit early...

and the tall snag near the Scout Platform (which has hosted birds such as RB Grosbeak, OS Fly, Peregrine and RS Hawk)--is no longer after the rain-storm...

A fun, low-keyed fund-raiser for Allendale's Fell House, that stately white mansion just down the street from the Celery Farm parking lot on Franklin Turnpike, is scheduled for the Allendale Bar and Grill next Monday (August 30) from 5 p.m. to closing.

Buy dinner, a snack, a beer, a glass of wine, and part of the proceeds will go to the Concerned Citizens of Allendale, a non-profit grassroots group.

Find out more about why the house is so valuable historically and why the property is so valuable environmentally. Or just relax and savor the last few days (unofficially) of summer. I hope to see you there.
