This Green Heron has been hanging around the Celery Farm. Managed to get this photo just a short work from my home.

Sadly the Canada Goose nest was vandalized. The two photos were taken 2 days apart.

I’m at the Shawangunks this weekend. Short eared owls winter at the Grasslands NWR. Wish me luck for spotting an owl!

Did see many Northern Harriers, red-tail hawks, eastern bluebirds and 12 snow geese flyover. It’s also just peaceful here.

A red-shoulder hawk taken from my back porch. I need to get a better camera! He turned his head, faced me and then flew off. Not a bad morning when you get to see this. Yup, it is cloudy and cold.

@alan_geog Congrats! I know what it’s like to finally see a bird you’ve been waiting for. I saw a Wilson Snipe for the first time this morning. You can see my post It so so much more magnificent to see it in person.

Finally back walking the Celery Farm. Had the place all to myself except all the birds! A new one for me this morning a Wilson Snipe. The photo is from Merlin Bird ID app. This is a great app to help identify birds by photo and sound. Try it out!

Away for a winter getaway at south Florida. Seeing some nice shore birds and spotted a black and white warble. 3 Magnificent Frigate birds over the shore area. Saw them catching fish that were jumping out of the water. Lists of brown pelicans and boat-tail grackles. Collared doves are here as well and 2 peregrine falcons, cedar waxwing and Northern Flecker.

@loren I see it. Can you tell me what it is? I walk almost everyday. Some days it’s really quiet and I listen to the birds. Where are you from?

@ruthylu Congrats on seeing the two Bald Eagles, Ruth.

I didn't know about the Celery Farm's history until I read about it on their website, fascinating read.

Found your checklist on the Celery Farm eBird hotspot. From the birds reported, it looks like a great place for birding! A Red-shouldered Hawk is a rare bird for our area.

@redcrew Hi Deborah. The Celery Farm is a nature preserve located in my town Allendale, NJ. The back of my house butts up to it. The is considered a birding hotspot. I try to walk the 2 mile loop almost every day. Today I spotted 2 bald eagles and many other birds.

Two bald eagles flyover. I wish we can save all the other birds and our natural habitats. The mating pair re-shoulder hawks was spotted as well. I learned they will nest in April.
