Nanny, your juv. Cardinal and Jay are so sweet. Love that Chickadee too!!

Adel, that link is great! What a great moment for the photographer!!

Great pics everyone!!

Duc, Those Vultures are cute! Frame that one.

Nice of the white-crowned sparrow Rose! In NJ, they have been seeing White-throated Sparrows since Sept.

Not much going on in my yard. Lots of Carolina Wren, Cardinals, Finch, Chickadees and Titmouse but no sightings of Kinglets or Warblers yet. Need to go down the shore!

Tough to get a shot of these little fellows.

Much easier subject :)

Nice shot of the Turkey Vulture Duc, That is special.
I had the hardest time, to get a picture of a warbler, I didn't have on my list yet on Saturday. Not even sure what it is yet.It might even be a Vireo, for all I know. :)
I'm seeing an increase in the yard, of different Sparrows. White-crowned , White-throated, and those beige colored white-throated, Fox sparrows, Song Sparrows,and Chipping .

Grackle eating peanuts.

And more Grackles.

I am getting anxious to see some sparrows now after seeing the ones here!

And more.............

Great shots everyone!

I has mostly Grackles yesterday visiting my feeders. Still hot here, nineties for another week at least. Here is one of the Grackles.

I did catch a lot of birds in the sky, in addition to the Falcon I posted earlier. This is a Great Blue Heron (I think).

I saw at least 4 Ospreys, here is one.

Wood Stork.

Anhinga.

Good one GP!

Common Ground- dove spotted (and photographed) on Nummy Island !! This is only the 3rd time one has been reported in NJ!

Nummy Island is in between the 2 bridges going from Stone Harbor to N. Wildwood (about 10-15 minutes north of Cape May)

Here is a video about Nummy Island:

Here is another rehab bird ..... a 'Broad-winged Hawk' that has a broken wing. Photo was taken this past weekend at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge outside of Cambridge, MD. Other refuge activity was relatively slow but for a few Bald Eagles.

An 'Eastern Phoebe' photographed on 10/1.

What a sweet little bird, Linth.

Panamon, great photos!!

Burn, I'm guessing that second sparrow is the white-throat. I first thought you might have a gold-crowned. I'm waiting for ours to arrive here. Wish we had that white-throat, they're pretty. I just love your Grackles-they're beautiful.

Gardenpom, great variety of birds!!

Linth, that hawk is beautiful and the Phoebe is so cute.

This has got to be a Glossy Ibis. I saw a few White Ibis is the same location and you could clearly see the white. This one was very dark.

absolutely love the cute little Phoebe!

so, I got on here to say:

HOLY MOLEY. The brown creeper has returned. Definitely fall now!

Yep, Glossy Ibis

Resin

Had several Cedar Waxwings at the brush pile this morning. I go ga-ga every time I see them!! They were eating poke-berries but I think the Mockingbirds scared them off.

Awwww, Rose, that Waxwing is beautiful. They won't be here for another couple months and I just can't wait!! Happy to see your photos, hope there's lots of berries there to keep them there.

This Brewers Blackbird looked like it was walking a tightrope.

One of my Scrub Jays

Another Scrub Jay

This pair of Mallards looked cute at the park the other day.

Another Turkey Vulture watching as we walked by it.

Great shots guys!

Rose, I love that Cedar Waxwing!

Duc, Nice variety! the shots are great and I love the Vulture and Mallards!

This young Ibis landed on the utility line and had some difficulty balancing.

Here's the Mockingbird.

Grackle trying to help the Mockingbird fine tune the antennae.

White-winged Doves.

Another high-soaring Wood Stork.

Palm Warbler.

Gardenpom, your collage of young Ibis is just fantastic. Such expressions-adorable. I bet those Wood Storks are beautiful flying by you. Pretty Grackle, Mocker, Warbler and Doves too!

Great shots Duc and GP! Love the Vulture and young Ibis collage.

Except for the Waxwings everything is still the same here on the farm. Here is another Lincoln's Sparrow from this morning.

Not as clear but I thought this showed the markings nicely.
