We went out to Los Angeles to visit our daughter and got some birding in as well. Orange Bishops had been reported in the Sepuleveda Dam area and we were lucky enough to find one.

Blue-Winged Warbler

Early morning at Lord Sterling Park, Basking Ridge



Royal Tern, Lavallette

Note the band on this bird’s leg. Taken on the bay side, it was with another adult and a juvenile.








Male Pileated Woodpecker


I discovered a nesting pair in a tall dead tulip tree in my yard in Bernardsville this Spring. Over the course of a month or so, I watched as the pair successfully raised a pair of young.
