My reporting area includes all of Lehigh and Northampton Counties with the
northern edge of the area reaching Beltzville State Park and the southern
edge reaching Peace Valley Park in Bucks County. Updates are typically done
every Thursday, more often when necessary.

This is Dave DeReamus, for the Eastern PA Birdline, sponsored by the Lehigh
Valley Audubon Society, recorded on August 7th at 4:00 PM.
There will be a field trip to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in
Delaware on August 16th. Meet at the Tilghman Square parking lot, near the
Red Robin restaurant, just west of Route 309 at 7:30 AM. Trip leader will be
Peter Saenger.
Directions to many of the sites in this report can be found in the area's
birding guidebook, "Birds of the Lehigh Valley and Vicinity".
