How did the Warblers know that the Blackflies would be out in full force today? So many Warblers arrived: Tennessee, Nashville, Cape May, Blackburnian, and so many more. No lack of insects to complain about.
The bugs didn't bite us yet. Any day now. -
A rarely seen bird in our garden: a Baltimore Oriole. He tried to get some syrup, clinging upside down to the hummingbird feeder, with limited success. Don't have an orange in the house 😢.
He looks judgmental! -

They look unreal, like little felted wool balls: a Dark-eyed Junco. They just arrived in town and are looking for seeds.

Caw caw caw! Probably just spring migration, but... DOOM!
Thousands of #crows swarm Tel Aviv skyline sparking 'harbinger of #doom' warning amid Iran conflict
By STACY LIBERATORE, 25 March 2026
"The skies over Tel Aviv were flooded with a sea of crows on Tuesday, in what many people are saying is a 'harbinger of doom' warning.
"Thousands of crows were filmed circling high-rise buildings, including the iconic Azrieli Towers, in dramatic footage that quickly went viral online.
"Many viewers linked the eerie scene to Israel's ongoing tensions with Iran, claiming the spectacle signaled a looming disaster."

Looking Up for Wood Ducks
A spring morning search for Wood Ducks in Princeton’s Institute Woods turns into a lesson about looking up—and knowing your lens limits.

Alone on the Flats
A distant Black-bellied Plover stood alone on a shimmering mudflat, its quiet presence captured in a soft, spacious frame.

Forster’s Tern Over Cape May Harbour
While scanning the skies above Cape May Harbour, I spotted a slender tern gliding past the boat. At first, I wasn’t sure which species I’d photographed—Caspian, Common, or Forster’s? Back at home, subtle field marks confirmed it was Forster’s Tern in breeding plumage. A life bird. One that taught me to look closer.

Working the Dock
At the marina’s edge, the Ruddy Turnstones scurried along the green planks like tiny dockside inspectors.

Buffleheads in Motion
My first sighting of Bufflehead during a boat tour in Cape May felt like trying to photograph wind over water. They moved fast, flew low, and never stopped.

The Cormorants of Cape May
During a boat tour through the Cape May saltmarsh, I observed Double-crested Cormorants at rest, in flight, and in that transitional space between water and sky.

Cape May Island Birding by Boat
A spring morning on the saltmarsh, quiet but alive. I joined a small group aboard *The Osprey* for a birding cruise around Cape May Island, camera in hand and eyes open for coastal migrants. It began with a twig and a watchful Osprey, and became a slow, quiet journey into the rhythm of observation.
