A BANNER SUNDAY MORNING IN THE HUDSON VALLEY....AND A GREAT BLUE HERON TOO

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.

A fabulous Sunday morning---nabbed some beautiful tulips at the St. Augustine Youth Group Easter flower fundraiser--preceded by the best cup of Joe from Matters and.....

It was fitting that---having seen no Great Blue Herons for some time at the Croton train station estuary---one of their favorite haunts but becoming less and less so these last few years--that we spotted this beauty this morning....and especially since it was the late Bill Ryder who first told us that this was one of best spots in the village....and for Snowy Egrets too.....click on the photo below, all rights reserved. (Requiescat in pace Bill.)

You are encouraged to get out there and enjoy the birds...........there are still eagles to be seen, Ospreys just about everywhere, and numerous spring migrations are taking place.

Feed the Birds has wonderful guides to help you along---and a sale till May 15th on Zeiss Optics 

And for the latest info, here's the Spring 2025 newsletter from Saw Mill River Audubon.

And highly recommended, a fabulous video from THE CORNELL LAB---GO TO  Cornell Lab of Ornithology—Home | Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
