Birds of Island Beach State Park

Female Grosbeak 

Seagull 

Mockingbird 


We went to Island Beach State Park. It was a better day for the beach than birding, but here are a few photos. The top is female blue grosbeak (we think). The middle photo is a seagull eating a crab. Chris was traumatized by a crab as a child, so she thinks it's fine for the seagull to kill them. The bottom picture is a rather rumpled mockingbird.
