I took a walk into the township woods (forgive us our trespasses) which I've decided to call Blue Jay Woods due to the large numbers of jays calling and flying tree to tree. As I approached the little creek a Great Blue Heron rose from the bank and slowly flew upstream. Nothing unusual for me to see a great blue, but I've never seen one here; thus a new species for my Middlesex County list. I might have a decent county list by the time I leave here next week.
Also got a great look a couple of times at a Carolina Wren calling exuberantly.
14 species on the walk.

Mourning Dove 5
Red-bellied Woodpecker 3
