March--A Wide-ranging Month

Wood Ducks, Ditch Meadow, Whitesbog

I ended the month at Raritan Bay Waterfront Park in Middlesex County, another place I haven't visited since pre-pandemic, in this case just about two years, because that's when Scott runs a few trips there and I try to get up there in hopes that his expertise will pull out a white-winged gull from the flocks of usual gulls. It took a bit of doing but he got the group on an Iceland Gull flying out over the bay. Not the field guide looks you'd like but obvious enough.  Also new for me was Laughing Gull, though I wasn't too concerned about getting that species for the year. 

Being in Middlesex today made it the seventh New Jersey county I've birded this month, which is another thing I can say I haven't done since the pandemic started. Why that's one third of the counties in the state. But in Delaware we birded two thirds of the counties in the state. Impressive if you don't know there are only three in the state. 

Sandhill Cranes, New Egypt

On Sunday, Scott found a quartet of Sandhill Cranes in the storied corn field on Brynmore Road in New Egypt. They are off and on again habitués of that field over the years. Unfortunately, this is where my eschewing of social media and the GroupMe alerts bit me on the ass, because I didn't find out about it until late in the afternoon on Sunday. Monday & Tuesday we were in Delaware. Today, just as I was about to leave South Amboy and was checking eBird to see if anyone had seen the cranes today, Mike texted me that he had them again in the field. There's no good way to get there from South Amboy but I took the least bad way and made it there in a little over an hour. As always seems to be case with this species in NJ, they were hard to see in the corn stubble unless they stood straight up. Luckily, when I got there a couple were. Not a year bird; hell, not even a month bird since I saw pair fly over at the end of Scott's trip to Salem County early in the month which bled over into Gloucester County when we stopped at Pedricktown Marsh. 

I did one trip to Brig this month where I got the surprise of the King Rail and a long recording of it. The Delaware trip is documented above. Mostly, of course, I was in Ocean and Burlington Counties. I had a few great moments at Whitesbog this month like when I found the woodcocks in the triangle field pre-dawn, or came up the Wood Ducks above in Ditch Meadow. And here's a peculiarity: I now hold the Ocean County record for most Ring-necked Ducks seen in one place--665 at Colliers Mills, the vast majority of them staging the south end of Turnmill Pond. That was a memorable sight. And finding the Red-headed Woodpecker (twice) at Colliers Mills always seems like an accomplishment to me. 

It was a good month with 134 species listed of which 24 were year birds. April begins the craziness of warblers and shorebirds. I already have anticipation anxiety.

Raritan Bay Waterfront Park 2/15--Lesser Black-backed Gull

Ring-billed and Herring Gulls

The coldest day of the year (so far)

found me at Ken Buchanan Waterfront Park in Sayreville, overlooking what is euphemistically called the Sayreville Marsh but is actually a gigantic landfill across the Raritan River. I had come up for Jason's and Patrick's trip which concentrates of gulls and raptors. 

When I got out of the car it didn't feel too bad, despite the 15 degree temperature; there was no wind. 5 minutes later, I couldn't feel my feet. That happens to me in the cold when I just stand in one place, scoping flocks of birds; it just usually doesn't happen so fast.

Unfortunately, the gullage on the river was dullage. Just the usual 3 expected species, none of the Jason specialties I was hoping for. Jason can and will stand for hours on end studying gulls and from this intensive looking, he often finds a rarity. Since gulls have 3 or 4 molts and are extremely variable and also hybridize, this is an enviable skill to achieve. We were a little luckier with the raptors--eagle, falcon, harrier, and Red-tailed Hawk but again, no really cool ones like a Rough-legged Hawk which I still 'need' for the year.

After about an hour I felt like I was standing on stumps; plus the cold had killed the battery in my phone so I went to the car to recharge and warm up. The second stop was supposed to be the Edison Boat Launch on the other side of the river, but Jason had gone there earlier, found little of interest, and it didn't look to him and Patrick that any birds were moving that way. Instead the group drove over to South Amboy's Raritan Bay Waterfront Park where at least we could take a brisk walk. 

The birding there was fine. No wind and enough birds on the water to keep you interested. After walking up to the Morgan Mud Flats we turned around and walked to the other side of the park where there is a little cove that birds often gather on. This was the most productive area of the day, with a small flock of Sanderlings, a scattering of Killdeer, and best of all, a semi-rare gull, found, naturally, by Jason--a Lesser Black-backed Gull loafing among the Ring-billed and Herring Gulls. Because it was tucked in among the other gulls it was difficult for me to locate at first, especially since the fence along the boardwalk is just high enough to block my scope. But we ambled down toward the flock and the bird didn't move. Finally I got decent looks at it if not stellar pictures. When I got home and checked, it turned out to be a county bird for me, but I'm not in Middlesex County enough to take my lists there too seriously. 

While the weather had warmed noticeably, it was still literally freezing and we were standing around again. I felt my feet going numb and since it didn't look like any Glaucous or Iceland Gulls were going to appear out of nowhere, I shook hands all around and headed back home, happy with a year bird for the day.

Reed's Road, IBSP 4/30--Chuck-Will's-Widow, Warbling Vireo, American Redstart, Magnolia Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak + The Monthly Wrap Up

Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Reed's Road

Instead of waiting for reports to come in from Reed's Road and being a day late, as is my custom, today I decided to do things differently and just go there on speculation, the speculation being that the overnight rain might create a "fallout" at this migrant trap. I also had calm conditions which is an advantage.

When I started, just before 8, the only singing birds I heard were catbirds, towhees, and yellowthroats and that was pretty much the case for the entire 2+ hours I was there. It looked like it was just going to be a decent walk by the time I hit the bay since the only new bird I'd added was Warbling Vireo, the plainest bird around and hardly worth looking at.

However, turning north toward the "bowl" activity picked up with 3 Palm Warblers along the way making forays from the pines onto the beach and a kingfisher rattling overhead. I turned onto the path into the bowl, remembering that last year I'd seen Chuck-Will's-Widow in this spot and thought turned to action when one flushed up the from the ground, flew a feet and then sat in a low bush where I got nice looks, though, like the Cheshire Cat, it somehow managed to slowly disappear and soon I lost sight of it. Which was okay because my attention was called to something moving high up in a tree, and though the light was bad, the black back with white spots made me suspect Rose-breasted Grosbeak and as I whispered "turn around" thought once again preceded action as it showed me it's very rosy breast.

Still standing in the same spot I was watching the many Yellow-rumped Warblers flitting in the trees, hoping for something different and my hopes were fulfilled when a magnificent Magnolia Warbler (apparently early and thus rare) flew around above me for a good while. Leaves and twigs, not to mention hyperactivity, prevented thoughts of photos.

When I finally moved into the bowl I saw a female Rose-breasted (I would eventually count 6 in the area--two in the bowl and 3 females chased by a male on the return trip on the road itself), then moving toward the back, thinking that this is the spot where I often find Black-throated Green, I glanced up and saw, instead, a Blackburnian Warbler with its flaming throat. A few minutes later an American Redstart appeared. I may have had a better day on Reed's Road, but one doesn't come to mind.

Marsh Wren, Spizzle Creek

I made my way down the park stopping at my usual spots. I didn't add any year birds but at Spizzle Creek, at the end of the trail, I found my county Marsh Wren for the year and was able to get a picture of it despite it being obscured by the reeds. 

I didn't really feel like making the trek down the beach to the inlet, but there were a couple of more birds I hoped to get. I walked about a mile down the beach without really seeing much of interest. I decided I was wasting my time, gave up and turned around. Zirlin's Second Law of Birding states:

       You will not find the bird until you truly give up.

So, walking north, what do I see fly past me over the ocean? A Caspian Tern, another bird for my county list and one of the birds I was looking for. Proof yet again.

As to April I added quite a few species to the various lists I keep. The month was mostly Ocean County-centric, but I did make a few trip extra-county forays, including the very successful trip up to South Amboy where I added Little Gull to my NJ list. I even got out of the state with a few hours spent in Central Park, adding one year bird there. 

The rarities this month, aside from Little Gull, were in the southern part of the county. The Townsend's Solitaire set off a frenzy down at Manahawkin for about a week, the Cape May Warbler that I found down on Great Bay Blvd took a while to get some attention but then everyone seemed to get it, and the Summer Tanagers (2, count 'em, 2) on Cedar Bonnet Island had the side effect of introducing a lot birders to this relatively new hot spot. 

For the month I listed 172 species, by far my biggest month of the year. If you can't get them during migration, you may as well not bother.
