I saw one earlier today at Ilgestein Rock. I was too exhausted to grab the phone from my backpack in a timely manner, and before I even made the move he was gone with the female in tow. Beautiful little bird.

My small Sony Cybershot I carry in my pocket, since I'm showing off here, here is one more cool photo.

Cedar waxwings showed up today. I've seen them before at Shark River. They hold true to their name, they're usually in the cedar trees and you don't see just one but 3 and 4 at a time, frolicking together.
I couldn't get close enough to snap a pic. Here's a internet's pic.

Scavengers and their prey.

We took a little hike to find a local owl with three little ones. Unfortunately, the others were blocked by branches.

Lots of birds around here lately.
Caught this guy the other morning on the sacrificial tree I left for him so he leaves my house alone.


Also have heard a great horned owl doing night calls, and had some treats over the weekend.
Sunday had a dogfight between and Osprey and a huge red tail hawk over our house. Very f-ing cool.
Monday we had a flyover by two red tails and an eagle.

We have a resident great blue heron, but neighbor says he’s been seeing green herons for the first time ever.
Lockdown is doing great for nature.

Caught Big Red on his lunch run today


Then met Ryan Gosling on the trail.

He didn’t say much- I think he was a bit star struck meeting me.

I have been stalking this female Blue Heron for two weeks so the reflection is a double shot.

Didn't want to get to close to this very juvenile Pileated, who could only hop and thought that the fireroad was the place to practice.
