Another weekend spent in NJ due to family problems. Shari & I got away on Sunday to Long Branch and Sandy Hook and managed to add 3 new birds for the year--not much, but something. Typically, the White-winged Crossbills we'd hoped to see at Seven Presidents were spotted a half hour after we left.
We just haven't been able to get in sync with where the birds are this year. Weather and family contingencies have played their part, but still, I feel that we should be doing better.
