Yesterday, John, Doug, and I drove down to the North Shore of New Jersey. Although it was extremely cold, the wind was not too bad and we got to see a lot of great birds. We stopped first at Seven Presidents Park, and within minutes, we had both RED and WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS! \u00a0Click on photos for all pictures:<\/p>\n

After that, we continued on to various ponds that still had a bit of open water, and also to various ocean lookouts that produced many goodies like Black and WW Scoters, Long-tailed Ducks, Common Loons, Ring-necked Duck, Lesser Scaup, Purple Sandpiper, Sandering, Great Cormorants, and others, including:<\/p>\n

We then headed back for DeKorte Park, where John got Doug and I our lifer ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK (light morph). We saw a Gray Ghost and female Harriers, Red-shouldered and Red-tailed Hawks, and some White-crowned and American Tree Sparrows.<\/p>\n

Then to really top it off, I had my second-ever (for the yard) American Tree Sparrow at the nyjer feeder when I got home…the photos are through the window in bad light, but still:<\/p>\n
