Bird vs. Fish

Beach plum

Today we strolled the woodland marsh trail while enjoying our favorite local farm!

Higbee Fields

We spent most of our time in field 1 in the later hours of the morning, and moved onto field 2 by early afternoon.

I’m not the first to write about this, nor will I be the last, but I think it’s worth passing on some general concepts in the plainest possible terms here. What I chose to include is based on conversations with newer R users who may not have any coding experience prior to using the language […]

Vis MiG

Today was one of the most incredible days I’ve ever had! I went to DE ave. where the road ends at Cape May county park. I met some new friends over a spectacular sight: thousands of warblers migrating down the road, many at eye level! They were flying past us into the hedge row. I […]

Visible Migration

This morning, I went in search of #vismig to “the place” in Cape May: Higbee dike! It ended up being a relatively slow morning, so I meandered to the meadows. I took the main trail down over the dunes, but didn’t walk all the way out to the beach. I then took the dune trail […]

Black Rails in Action!

Every birder holds their breath for a chance to see a rare rail, and I love coming across stories of those who “won the bird lottery.” This album below was especially inspiring and basically makes me want to live at the meadows; click through for the photographer’s story in the captions! The photos were taken […]

Higbee

I finally went to “the” migration headquarters, and learned about the field numbering system. I walked around field 4 before taking a break from the sun. Then, I walked the green trail at Cox Hall Creek in the evening!

Planning to Visit “Brig”

I’m still learning the nicknames of all of the south Jersey birding spots. So, I found out “Brig” is a unit in Forsythe NWR.

Cox Hall Creek

We took a walk on the red, yellow and blue trails today!

We’ve Arrived!

We got in this evening and I have to say, I’m pretty thrilled with our native-filled yard in an otherwise unassuming neighborhood. I found a neglected hummingbird feeder that I scrubbed out and hung near my “work from home” window, under the shade of a small tree. Hopefully we’ll have more birdie visitors soon! Where […]
