We were fortunate to have a beautiful, sunny day with the temperature about 40 degrees. There was a stout wind along the jetty by Barnegat Light.

ML Birders traveled to Delaware to visit Bombay Hook NWR on a beautiful day, sunny with temperatures ranging from 50-70 degrees.

It was a cloudy, foggy morning temperatures in the 60 degree range until about 10:30 then, sun in and out with temperatures climbing into the 80s.

It was a beautiful sunny day when the ML Birders visited Dorothy, where they enjoyed a colony of Red-headed Woodpeckers. They also visited Estell Manor park for migrants, and Tuckahoe state WMA for water birds.

It was a sunny, very cold day with the temperature about 32 degrees!

16 birders traveled about 80 miles (almost 2 hours), leaving Medford Leas at 7 a.m., to Bombay Hook NWR. The day became beautiful with blue sunny skies and a brisk, warm north-west wind.

Salem County in spring can offer very interesting birding; it has early migrants and arrivals, but also can hold on to winter birds.

Arriving at the hawkwatch about 10:15, we found a moderate flight of accipiters underway, with constant Cooper’s and Sharpshinned Hawks in the air…. On our way home we found and identified a couple of interesting caterpillars.

Two trips in one – a scouting run and a fall field trip, in shorebird season.

A great day of bird photography at the rookery.

The ML Birders headed out to Belleplain State Forest on a gray and blustery day hoping to see some early arriving warblers. The birding gods were conspiring against them!

Mannington Marsh, the tidal estuary of the Salem River, is a beautiful place to look for waterfowl and early spring migrants.


A beautiful day, with thousands of Myrtle (Yellow-rumped) Warblers and plenty of hawks to watch.
