October Review--Sparse

Royal Tern, Double-crested Cormorant, Cattle Egret, Herring Gull, IBSP Marina

A lot of birding this month, but not much new, though, compared to the pandemic constrained birding of 2020, I've already surpassed my numbers for the year overall and for Ocean County. We started the month with the last two days of our Delaware vacation (although what I'm taking a vacation from is mysterious), and it was there that we picked up two year birds, an Hudsonian Godwit at Bombay Hook and a Brown-headed Nuthatch at Cape Henlopen SP which we visited for the first time. 

After that my trips consisted of a combination of my usual haunts (Whitesbog, Reeves Bogs, Brig, Great Bay Blvd) and spots more lightly birded such as FREC, Bunker Hill Bogs, Bamber Lake & Horicon Lake, where I hoped something unusual would go overlooked had I not birded there that day. Nope. I only was able to find two new year birds the rest of the month: a Gray-cheeked Thrush way in the back at Reeves Bogs and a very brief look at a Clay-colored Sparrow at Island Beach on one of Scott's NJA trips. 

Rusty Blackbird, Reeves Bogs

The month was not without its rewards though. At Great Bay Blvd I was able to add American Golden-Plover to my county year list, giving me, as Scott pointed out, all three pluvialis species that showed up in the county this year (Black-bellied, American Golden and Pacific Golden) in one place. At Reeves Bogs last week I came upon and was able to photograph a very nice example of a Rusty Blackbird; not rare, but sought after as they are rapidly diminishing. There is one stretch of trail there that runs along a maple swamp where they are fairly reliable in the right season and last week the main satisfaction I had was hearing it first and then tracking down the bird. 

But probably the most interesting bird of the month I saw today. I went to Island Beach today to walk the southern end of the park to the jetty and then the back of the inlet, hoping for some interesting seabirds (say a jaeger) or shorebirds (say a Red Knot) or gulls (say an Iceland). Nope. Had I stopped at Reed's Road there was the very slight off chance that I might have seen the White-winged Dove that flew over Scott's head, but I didn't stop there. When I was just about back to the car returning from the inlet, I got a text from Steve that there was a Cattle Egret at the IBSP Marina--8 miles away. That seemed like an unusual place for one to be and while it wouldn't be a year county bird, it would certainly be an interesting addition to my Island Beach list. Then I got a follow up text that there were five Cattle Egrets. That's just down right weird. But, after I got there (if you don't strictly follow the speed limits you can do it in 11 minutes) there they were, standing on one of the docks with the gulls, cormorants, and Royal Terns. Later, I took a short walk up the alley that runs between the houses and the park boundary and when I was coming back I thought I saw a white plastic bag flying around in the farmer's market field. The white fluttering turned out to be one of the Cattle Egrets and then, when I got out into the open, all five of them took off, circled the field a few times and disappeared. They were later found about a half mile north of there. A satisfying end to the month in which I listed 146 species.

You Can't Proofread Graffiti

This is the old Jersey Central RR overpass on Rt 72 in Chatsworth. To paint his message, a moron had to hang over the ledge and spray on his political "thought" upside down 18 feet off the pavement. Unfortunately, "mirror writing" is hard to execute. Particularly in the dark when I assume this had to be done. The backwards "4" is classic. The "Biben" brings to mind the old saying, "Mind your p's & q's" because when setting type by hand the letters are reversed on their slugs and the p's & q's look similar, as do the b's and d's. 

Brilliant bro, a well thought out cogent statement that tells us everything we need to know about you and well worth risking your skull to do.

Delaware 9/29-10/2--Sora, Common Gallinule, Marbled Godwit, Hudsonian Godwit, Brown-headed Nuthatch

Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, Clayton, DE

The distance to Delaware is about as much traveling as my psyche can stand, so for the third time this year Shari & I made the rounds of Bombay Hook a couple of times, ate good Indian food in Dover, and explored a new birding spot (for us) in LSD (Lower Slower Delaware). 

We started the trip at Winterthur Gardens, where Shari has always wanted to visit. While it is a large open area with forests and grasslands, it wasn't exactly teeming with birds. Besides birding is not a multi-tasking activity. Here's what I took out of the visit: If you're a DuPont & have all the money in the world and never worked a day in your life you can collect a lot of beautiful things and spend a lot of time worrying about the color mix of flowers in your gardens. The next day we went to Bombay Hook. 

Common Gallinule, Bombay Hook

For the last couple of months a quartet of Roseate Spoonbills have been residing in the Shearness Pool there, not venturing very far from the pullout on the road called the Daly Overlook. Normally, I would spend a lot of time looking into the Raymond Pool first, which you come upon first on the drive, but, as is my wont with rare birds, I insisted we drive directly to the Shearness to get the rarity "out of the way." They weren't hard to find which seems silly to say of big pink birds, but it is amazing how furtive they can sometimes be. Of course, for me, they were just state birds, but they were year birds for Shari. While we were looking at them I heard a Sora whinny and while I was idly scanning the impoundment, I came upon a Common Gallinule lazily feeding in front of us. So that was two year birds as a bonus. 

Another bird to look for down there are the American Avocets. We found them on a mud flat in the bay. Mixed in with them were a huge flock of Green-winged Teals, which, because they are so small and feed by scooping their beaks in the muck, often fool you into thinking they're shorebirds, but, mixed in with the teal Shari did find one large shorebird as she was scoping which turned out to be our year Marbled Godwit. Marbled Godwit was one of the target birds for the trip since they've avoided us in NJ. 

Another long-staying rarity in Delaware, and high on the list of Zirlin's Favorite Goofy Birds, is a flock of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks that have, as is typical for this species, plunked themselves down in retention pond in the middle of a housing development in Clayton, SW of Smyrna. Shari at first wasn't too enthusiastic about driving there but after a trip to the DuPont Nature Center (where we got her the requisite American Oystercatchers) another report came in and she decided that it was worth the 45 minute drive to spend 4 minutes counting a flock of 11. 

On the first day of October we didn't go to Prime Hook as is our usual practice, but instead drove a little farther south to Cape Henlopen, near the Lewes Ferry. This state park, with it's pine forests, beach trails, and old military batteries, seemed like a combination Sandy Hook and Island Beach SP. The specialty of the house there is Brown-headed Nuthatch, which is really the only bird in Delaware you can't expect to find in New Jersey. Some are easier in Delaware, like the avocets, but the only bird on the DE list that would be a big deal in NJ is the BHNU. Very occasionally one wanders across the bay to Cape May but never any farther north than that. They're even considered rare 25 miles north of Cape Henlopen where Shari & I have seen them on Big Stone Beach Road in Kent County. 

So without really knowing where to look we started on a trail behind the nature center that led to the bay and back. Lots of pines, no nuthatch. We inquired within as to location and were told that the trail we'd been was a good one for them, but if they weren't there to try the Pine Lands Trail near the old fort. Hardly had we stepped onto the trail than we heard them, little squeak toys high in the crowns of the trees. We could see them flitting about but as they are about the same size as the Golden-crowned Kinglets which were also feeding in the trees, separating them was a little difficult. 

On the trail behind the nature center we saw a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and in the bay we spotted a large flock of Brown Pelicans. Nothing remarkable about either, though both species are cool to find, but it turns out that they were state birds for us. I was surprised, especially by the pelicans. A lot more work to be done in Delaware. 

Hudsonian Godwit, Bombay Hook

Finally, on Saturday, the second, we returned to Bombay Hook where the mix of birds was quite different than than two days before, although the spoonbills were still out in the open and the Sora was still whinnying. Where there were 60 avocets, now there were only two. Where do they go? There were many more Black-bellied Plovers than on Thursday and mixed in with them was one sleeping bird with some white on its tail that had me puzzled. Finally, another birder sidled over to us and told there was a Hudsonian Godwit among the Black-bellied Plovers. "Third one from the right." Oh, you mean the sleeping bird that had me puzzled? So both of the likely godwits are on the year list now. 

I don't know why, but Tricolored Heron is listed as rare at Bombay Hook. I assume it is a seasonal rarity. One was reported in Bear Swamp Pool on Thursday but we missed it; it was reported again on Saturday and driving by I found it immediately, right in front of us. And then I found a second one. 

For our 4 days in Delaware we listed 90 species which is pretty good considering the relatively late starts we got, reducing the number of passerines on the list.

Roseate Spoonbill, Bombay Hook

September Summary--11 Year Birds

Roseate Spoonbill, Bombay Hook

 After nailing myself down to Whitesbog for the month of August, in September I feel like I was all over the place, including a trip to Delaware at the end of the month (and the beginning of this one). More on that trip later. 

Migration means warblers and as usual I didn't do as well as I'd like--never had much luck on a couple of trips to the Island Beach bay side trails, though my one trip on the other side of the state to Palmyra was a success. As an honorary Burlco birder I was gassed to finally get a chance to explore Budd's Bogs where we started in the rain and dark and ended in sunshine with 62 species on a "slow" day. Plus, the American Bittern we flushed was a county bird for me. 

I made one trip to South Park Road in Burlco with an agenda and checked off all three target birds there before it was much past 7: Great Horned Owl, Eastern Screech-Owl and Red-headed Woodpecker. 

I even made it as far north as Sandy Hook where I had a so-so day. I realized there that you have to really love a place to bird it well, and walking along the trash-strewn beaches, trying to find a parking lot that wasn't either a construction site or a reserved for Boy Scouts, trying to find a rest room that wasn't arbitrarily closed, it dawned on me that I don't love Sandy Hook

Whitesbog continued to produce for me when I went there: The American Golden-Plover finally showed up and over on the Ocean County side on one of the first cool days of the month I found my year Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. 

I did a couple of trips to Brig, one with Mike, one solo. Shari & I spent the last day of the month at Bombay Hook in Delaware. Comparing the two, I prefer the latter. There's more variety down there than Brig and, while I don't know this for a fact, I get the feeling that everyone isn't always bitching about the water levels in the various impoundments. There are four Roseate Spoonbills down there that have been hanging in the same spot for about two months now. They are not hard to find. While we were looking at them I spotted a Common Gallinule nearby and a Sora was whinnying off and on the whole time we were at the Daly Overlook. That's what I call fun. 

The Sora brought me to 282 for the year, one more species than I had all of last year. A pandemic makes for easy comps.
