NJ Birding

Digging through pics from the mass of 10k snow geese at a reservoir in Warren county NJ and I think I spot a Ross's goose with a smaller more triangular bill. #birding. I was maxed out on the zoom of my Nikon P1100

Center frame, Bald eagle's nest, where two, very much alive Canada Geese are sitting and apparently sleeping.

Happy mid-week friends... you can find a lot of different things while out birding, but this is one I never expected to see. In fact, this might be one of the last things I expected to see sitting atop an Eagle's nest. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🪶📷🦉

NJ's World Series of birding registration is open. It's a great fundraiser for NJ Audubon. Last year's winner recorded 196 species! I am thinking of forming a team. give.njaudubon.org/site/SPageSe...

Fantastic! My lifer Virginia rail was similar. I have had several lifers this year that were just not satisfying so always great to have it setup so wonderfully. Congrats

Congrats and great shot. Hoping to see one in AZ this weekend

Beautiful capture David

This made my day Steve! Thank you sir

Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.

This regime’s priorities are just completely ass backwards…

JFC (seems like an appropriate response)

How is this even possible or acceptable? We have fallen apart as a serious country.

Deleted my last post because I said barnacle instead of cackling. Early morning brain fog. So excited to finally see a cackling goose (2!) after many false ids and eBird reviewer corrections! #birding

Seriously, heck of a day.

Woke up at 3:50 am to drive 2.5 hours to south jersey for sunrise to chase short eared owls, and then a day of #birding at Forsythe. Dipped on 4 of 5 targets but amazing time with four SEOs.

Yesterday I was birding in south Jersey when we got notice of a pink footed goose in the northwest portion of the state. Off we went. Thankfully several birders found the needle in the "10k flock of snow goose haystack!" and got my 3rd ABA rarity alert of the year. Super fun. #birding

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth, your bird captures you like best from February. Eastern screech owl, house finch, harlequin duck and red headed woodpecker.

Are you new to birding?

Was my lifer to boot

Beautiful shot and framing with the plant in the foreground.

I love birds and find them beautiful and endlessly fascinating and that is one funny looking funky bird. Great shot!

THIS IS 👇 HOW IT'S DONE.......

Today @alan678.bsky.social theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #WideOpenWings, so here is a golden eagle for late Jan in CA #birding

I don't think poop will work as a deterrent

This may be the scariest story of the last decade. Truly a frightening idea that our DoD objects to these items.

More than 1,100 geese just turned up dead or sick in N.J. Here’s the disturbing reason why. An alarming number of dead geese have been reported across the state since the weekend, sparking concern among residents.

Another dead bird in the NY/NJ area. Have seen an alarming amount recently evidently due to bird flu being exacerbated by bird behavior during the Cold weather. Scary stuff.. #birding

I have been seeing an alarming amount of dead birds the past week or so in NY/NJ. This gull (Glaucus?) was in Ocean County NJ. Saw about 12 Canada geese on frozen Hudson this weekend too. Avian flu?

A vagrant swainson's hawk has been returning to Brooklyn the last few years. Spends time at a city recycling facility. Saw him briefly in the rain. #birding

Sounded like an amazing trip. Congrats!
