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.
Our Pathways trip to the Delaware refuge enjoyed perfect weather and interesting birds.
We enjoyed a very pretty walk through historic Batsto village to the lake, which was mirror-calm. Later, we looked for a Red-headed Woodpecker along a sand road near Chatsworth, but instead found the Pine Barrens endemic plant “Pyxie” in full bloom.
The rain date of Sept. 27 was a lucky, sunny, 65-degree day in between two days of clouds due to Tropical Storm Ophelia. Despite a shortage of migrants, there were some surprises.
A mild spring day with high clouds made for good birding at Assunpink. We made a side trip to Roosevelt, a town with a fascinating history.
For the second year in a row we visited Bombay Hook in November, for a transitional season look at departing shorebirds and arriving waterfowl.
The PPA’s Rancocas Creek Farm was our second short trip of the year, and we combined it with a visit to the Eagles’ Walk Green Acres trail in Vincentown. The weather was delightful with starting temperatures in the mid 60’s into the mid 70’s at Eagles’ Walk Green Acres.
The ML Birders took our first short trip of the year to Boundary Creek Park on a mostly overcast day with temperatures in the low 60’s. The bird of the day based on numbers was the Gray Catbird. We observed a total of 30 species for the morning.
Combined notes from two trips, April 8 and April 27 2022. April 8 was a fine early spring day, while April 27 was very windy, with less bird activity.
The day was misty and cloudy. 22 species were seen at Amico Island, and 16 species were seen at Boundary Creek Park.
We had a beautiful warm, sunny morning, with no wind. After driving around the Shark River Estuary, we went to the Shark River inlet and then on to Silver Lake, Lake Como, Spring Lake and Wreck Pond.
It was a sunny, mild winter day with the temperature in the 40’s. We went first to Barnegat Light and walked out on the jetty.
The day was cold and sunny with the temperature in the low 20s to mid 30s for the Birders’ Nov. 14 trip to Brigantine.
Nine Bird Club members and three guests caravanned to Sandy Hook, the Gateway National Recreation Area, on a sunny but somewhat windy day. Despite a puzzling absence of shorebirds thirty-five species were identified, and a great day was had by all.
The day was gorgeous! Clear, sunny, pleasantly warm with a little breeze. We drove to the Heislerville area and out to the platform at Thompson’s Beach. We then drove down to Goshen to the Audubon Center and lastly to Reed’s Beach.
The day was misty and cool, and the ML birders saw 21 species at Brightview farm.
The ML birders visited Hawkins Road and the Burlington County Institute of Technology on this foray for local breeding species.
