Birdwatching Yesterday


I went birdwatching at Forsythe Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey yesterday. It's beautiful there in autumn. Click to enlarge.  

This lovely great egret stood still long enough for a photo. I love it when the water is still enough to reflect the long, graceful neck. 

There were lots of bufflehead ducks. Look at this handsome line following the adult male in front. 

I saw my favorite little duck, the green-winged teal. Here are two males. 

A shiny common grackle. Chattering as usual. 

There are woods in the refuge near the marsh. I took this nice sandy trail into the woods. 

And came back out on this one. A quote from Nathaniel Hawthorn seems to fit here: "I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house."
