Green Pond, the L.V.A.S. Picnic, and Newburg Road ~June 22, 2025

I did an afternoon stop at Green Pond. There were 4 Green Herons and a Great Blue Heron there. One of the Green Herons was in the small, wooded pond next to the house at the intersection.

A Cooper's Hawk circled overhead while a Bank Swallow swooped around among 11 Barn Swallows and 7 Tree Swallows.

I went the short distance up the road and joined the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society's picnic. It was nice to see Peter, Barbara, Janet, Betty, and many others in person that you usually only communicate with through Emails and texts.

When I left there, I stopped at the Newburg Road retention pond on the way home. There, I found a Great Blue Heron, an Eastern Kingbird, and 5 Barn Swallows.
