It's been pretty quiet overall lately, since all the lakes in South Jersey are frozen solid....
But, the backyard has been busy still. The solo Fox Sparrow and Red Breasted Nuthatch continue and a flock of 25 Pine Siskins visited the feeders for about an hour yesterday.
An adult Sharp Shinned Hawk has been staying nourished. I've seen him hit a DE Junco and a RW Blackbird in the last few days, which is pretty cool.
A trip to (predominantly frozen) EB Forsythe yesterday was pretty quiet with only 32 species. However, great looks at 3 different Eastern Meadowlarks were awesome, a distant light-morph Rough Legged Hawk was really cool, and a handful of songbirds made it interesting including 10 Savannah Sparrows, a Swamp Sparrow, a Grey Catbird, 2 Hermit Thrushes, 2 Eastern Towhees, and a Brown Thrasher. Ducks were scarce though. Outside of Geese and Black Ducks, just a few Greater Scaup, a solo RB Merganser, and 2 Snow Geese.
That's all for now. I'll be watching the feeders all day tomorrow. Maybe somethin odd will show up!
