Saturday, October 20th, 2007 Bald Eagle @ Scott’s Mountain Hawk Watch
October 20, 2007 In Fall Birding No Comment

Bald Eagle @ Scott's Mtn Oct 2007
Our favorite Hawk Watch is the Scott’s Mountain version. With classy and kind raptor veterans like Henry, Paul, Rich among others, the Scott’s Mountain variety makes new comers welcome. The Merrill creek reservoir gives other distractions and the birds funnel through in an easy to view fashion. This Bald Eagle was a local and spun around a few times for our viewing pleasure.

Belted Kingfisher @ Basking Ridge Oct 2007
This is another bird who’s call you hear and don’t forget. This Belted Kingfisher was sitting dead center in a pond in town when he decided to move to a tree right next to me so I could get a better look.

American Bittern @ The Brig Oct 2007
The second time we had seen the American Bittern in a three day period in just about the same place. He was perched right along the road as you approach the Gull pond Tower. The “Big Sit” was taking place there and we tried to point the Bittern out to no avail as he went back to doing his best stick/reed impression. Hope the “Sit” went well!

Hooded Warbler @ Garret Mtn Sept 2007
Only the second place we had seen a Hooded Warbler (multiple times @ Kay Environmental Center), this male wasn’t flighty and allowed us to stare at his “Hood” and adore. My second favorite Warbler! (Of course the Canada is first!)

Chestnut-sided Warbler @ Garret Mtn Sept 2007
This little guy, a Chestnut-Sided Warbler, was most accommodating as he foraged feverishly in the trees at a great warbler spot, Garret Mountain. As this was our first Fall with Warblers my first encounter with this bird left me unsure. What a difference a few seasons make in the birds plumage! 🙂

Friday, September 14th, 2007 Roseate Spoonbill @ The Brig
September 14, 2007 In Summer Birding No Comment

Jeanette’s “Favorite Bird of all time,” we saw the Roseate Spoonbill for the third time this summer. This was the closest we had been and we got some great shots. I was able to get out of the car, site on the hood and just watch. He just might be a favorite of mine too.

Swallows @ The Meadows - Cape May Sept 6th 2007
We got our first look at the swallows that inhabit the Cape May meadows at this time of year. They move around in large corkscrews (thousands of birds) and go from bush to bush weighing down their branches with their combined girth. A site to see for sure. And I hear the flock number get larger in the fall!
