East Irvington Nature Preserve,
Irvington
Entrance on Taxter Road, 1.0 miles from Route 119.
This small but interesting preserve just opened up a few years ago. It sits up top a ridge and can be considered a southern part of the famed Elmsford Ridge. Quiet in winter this may be a great place for spring warblers and some breeding birds such as Pileated Woodpecker and Ovenbird.
