It was a little bit of an uninspired weekend of birding for me. I never really put a good plan together for either day, so I just kind of wandered around the county and it was ultimately not very productive. I think a lot of it has to do with the time of year – it’s sort of in between right now – some winter birds are holding on, but many are on the move, yet migration isn’t in full swing just yet. Highlights for me included adding Hermit Thrush to my 2024 OC list at D&H Canal Park Saturday morning, and catching up with a Great Cormorant on the Hudson River first thing this morning. As usual, regardless of how productive it was, I like to share some of the images from the weekend on a Sunday evening; fortunately I didn’t strike out on that count.
Matt, You’re Photos are Awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing, and I hope to “find” some of these places you go to.
The Pileated and Eagle would have made MY weekend special.
Although, I did see my very FIRST ever Great Horned Owl at the Loop the other morning. I’m still a little “shocky”, as it was a total surprise for me.
Keep on inspiring the rest of us with your Posts and Images. It makes ME and John get in the car and go for a ride! You never know what you will see.
Thanks so much Patty. Congrats on the Great Horned Owl – that is a very special siting. Glad to hear you and John are getting out – you just never know what you’re going find! Matt
