HAWK MIGRATION SEASON
Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
And so it has begun--the 2026 Hawk Migration Season. One of our favorite times of year .
Common migrating hawks in the Hudson Valley include:
Broad‑winged Hawk – often first in mid‑September
Sharp‑shinned Hawk – September–October
Cooper’s Hawk – September–October
Red‑tailed Hawk – October–November
And we have occasionally seen Harrier's out at the Croton Point above the landfill.

NEW YORK SEX ED LESSONS INCLUDE HITLER, LADY GAGA--AND INACCURATE CLAIMS, REPORT FINDS
Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
Sent in by a younger reader--who promises more. We shall see.
Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte had syphilis. Having sex before marriage makes you more likely to cheat on your future spouse. Taking birth control pills increases your risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection. Lady Gaga, Tina Fey, and Robert Pattinson have all chosen abstinence. If a teenager is preoccupied by sex, they might be a rapist.
These are just some of the things New York students are learning in their schools’ sexual education classes, according to a new report released Wednesday by the New York Civil Liberties Union. Researchers reviewed sex ed curricula used by 50 school districts across the state in the 2023–24 school year and found that more than one third contained medically inaccurate or misleading information.

HUMP DAY YADA YADA YADA
The usual chatter about the village being essentially divided--one area gets pigeon and pot-free-zones and parks---the other multi family housing, lots of ADUs, affordable, whatever, and cannabis retail. People being asked to "wake up and vote"
School stuff: Chatter and excitement about the school district moving away from young IPAD use---chatter and excitement about the landmark en banc Defending Education event---the case revival process has been kickstarted, and Judge Seibel is expected to issue a scheduling order or call a conference in the near future to set deadlines for the district's formal Answer and the plaintiff’s renewed motion...yada yada yada

Lots of very positive chatter about the Fox Elkof Patterson sign ceremony, Ed Riely, and everyone who participated and/or contributed to make it a memorable event.
Bots, the latest derangement on that particular day, and anonymous facebook posters dominate two local pages. Most folks seem to have stopped caring. It is after all, Autumn in the Hudson Valley....
SIGH....ANOTHER DAY....ANOTHER WHATEVER....."PALESTINIAN RACHEL DOLEZAL"
The spiraling madness continues...read more at A Philadelphia teacher has admitted to lying about having Palestinian heritage after activists exposed her as a wealthy white woman.

MAILBOX QUESTIONS -- 21 COOK
.jpg)
A few days ago, your editor stumbled upon this item---and have since received two additional inquiries from readers who have done the same....it's a resolution dated July 21, 2026 conveying 21 Cook Lane to the village from the Town. Haven't a clue about this and can't spend any time on it. Instead, I am crowdsourcing the request for info. Drop me a line or comment if you know anything.
