Caught my first distant glimpse of a northern harrier at the weekend. In New Jersey it remains a breeding-endangered species. A really beautiful bird 🪶 #birds #northernharrier #birdingNJ
Sorting through dozens of sandpipers to find the one pectoral sandpiper folks are listing at your home hotspot. It's like being a Jets fan... teases followed by dissappintment. #birding #birdphotography #birdingnj
I see this pic and sing this song "Ebony and Ivory go together in perfect harmony..." best buds hamming it up in a North Jersey salt marsh at dawn (semipalmated sandpiper and greater yellowlegs) #birding #birdphotography #birdingNJ #NikonP1100
Second morning in a row with a raptor not cooperating and taking off before I could get a good pic. Red-tailed hawk today... #birding #birdphotography #birdingnj #NikonP1100
Came across this Cooper's Hawk, was doing my best to not spook him to try and position a better shot. This is the last shot before he took off and I lost him. You can see him eyeing me. #birding #birdphotography #birdingnj #NikonP1100
This sweet little northern house wren was busy tending its next at 6:30am... #birding #birdphotography #birdingNJ
Finally got a couple good ones of the belted kingfisher this morning... all my action shots came out blurry. Not enough sun at 6:30 am for my but I'll take it #nikonp1100. #birding #birdingnj #birdphotography
Spotted a pair of ospreys on the Hudson River in NY/NJ yesterday—fitting for Earth Day. These long-distance migrants return from South America each spring to nest along the East Coast. Their recovery after the DDT ban is one of the best-known conservation wins 🪶 #Birds #Birding #BirdingNY #BirdingNJ
Ruddy duck diving on the Hudson River today. These specialized divers migrate to NY waters for winter months, plunging beneath the Hudson's surface in search of mussels, aquatic insects, and tiny crustaceans. #WildlifeNY #HudsonRiver #BirdingNYC #BirdingNJ
