Sightings Summer 2026 – July 2026

Regular sightings for the month of July 2026.

In July, activity in the marshes pick up with frequent sightings of Great Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Black-crowned Night Herons, Ospreys, several types of gulls, and waterfowl. Juveniles are present as well.

In the forest, look for park regulars such as Blue Jays, Northern Cardinals, Mourning Doves, and woodpeckers.

With increased sightings on the water, also consider visiting Sherman Creek Park on the east side of Inwood. The park is a good place to view herons, cormorants, and shorebirds.
