What Bird Did You See Today?

[Mahnken]

Took these shots a while ago, but see these guys all the time. The pair must have a nest around the neighborhood, but I haven't been able to find it in the three years I've lived here.

Sicklerville

This lake is their food source.

Maybe they live over in the wma and come over to fresh water lake?

Humming bird rescue. Little guy was stuck in the garage. Opened all the doors and windows, but it kept trying to fly through the ceiling like a bug. Finally caught it in my fishing net after 20min and got him out. Hope the little guy didn’t die of heatstroke later.

This happens often at my garage also. Come to find out the release pull on the door opener was the culprit as it's that bright red color they desire. Taped it up and haven't had an incident in a while. Look for those bright colors that might be attracting them.

Quite possibly. I guess I may never know.

Some remains of the bird that didn't make it.

I was driving so no photos - nor could I get a really good look. I thought it was a hawk at first but then noticed it's face...an owl. It's been a while since I've seen one.

I didn't see this today, but a while ago at Museum Village in Monroe I saw an antique "Bird Lamp"
It's so bizarre I thought I'd post it here.

Ah, the illuminating A19 Smart LED 16W bird.

A turkey vulture going at it on a fox. No idea how the fox died (perhaps hit by a car). There are actually two vultures; one of the vultures is lording over the carcass while trying to ward the other away

Also saw a new nest in the holly tree. I can swear that it wasn't there last week, but so far hasn't seen any inhabitants. I originally thought it may be an occupied cardinal nest, but I'm not so sure any more (re: the occupancy and the occupant)

This guy crossed the trail five feet in front of me and then flew up about twenty feet onto that branch. Really cool to see so close. Wish I had a decent camera with me.

I saw 3 heron (2 blue, 1 white) on my ride yesterday.
Spooked the first blue as he was wading in a river, the second one must have been hawking his fishing spot because he immediately flew down to take over. As soon as he saw me though, he aborted the landing, looped and took off.

White heron just flew off as I came upon it.
They're too shy shy.

Great blue heron in California, not sure if same species as ones in NJ.


This species has taken over most beach towns.

Bird bird bird...bird is the word.

Saw some decent birds @ 6mr today - first a big red-tailed hawk took off from the ground right in front of me, then later saw a pair of bluebirds on the blue trail
