We took what is turning out to be our monthly group trip around the impoundments with Pete Bacinski today. Nothing new for me. There would have been something new--an American Bittern-- if I had been able to park the car fast enough or close enough to where it was, but a jerk photographer's huge SUV was blocking the road and by the time I pulled around it and parked where others could pass by, the bittern had slipped back into the reeds, never to be found again, even after we went back later in the afternoon. Shari did see it--she jumped out of the car before the traffic jam. I have to say, I was pa-retty annoyed by that guy and his dumb wife driver and let them know. Birding can get ugly.
Anyway, 64 species on a fine day with good numbers of waterfowl and the first Brants of the season.

Backyard Bird 10/12--Purple Finch
Shari was sitting in the backyard this afternoon, ever vigilant for a Pine Siskin. She thought she had a candidate on our neighbor's feeder and called me outside to look at it. I thought, "maybe." As I was trying to turn it into one for her she decided against it. "No," she thought aloud, "It's a Purple Finch."
How does one get from siskin, a goldfinch like bird, to Purple Finch, a bird, that Peterson says, looks like it was dipped in raspberry juice? Easy, if the bird isn't an adult male. This bird had a notched tail, coarse striping, a pale supercillium, and was chunkier than a House Finch. It was either a first year male or a female.
Check one more off the backyard wish list.
Below, the birds we saw while waiting for the finch to make its various appearances--naturally, by the time we hauled out the camera it stopped coming to the feeder.

Island Beach SP 10/12--Black-billed Cuckoo, Blue-headed Vireo, Blackpoll Warbler
After our visit to Island Beach on Monday, I signed up for a bird walk held this morning. I wanted to see what I was missing. It's always good to bird with someone intimate with the area. It's no secret that normally I don't like bird walks because it's hard to bird well with a lot of people, but I had the notion that not too many others would show up and I was right. The birding party consisted of me, the leader, Skyler Streich, and Bob from Somerset County, so it was just about perfect for me.
We walked Reed's Road trail, which was the first one Shari & I birded on Monday, and at first the birding was fairly slow with nothing outstanding. Upon reaching the bay side we headed a little north and into a patch of maritime forest protected from the wind off the bay. We hung around there for well over an hour and every few minutes another interesting species appeared.
The most amusing find, for me, was the Blue-headed Vireo Bob found. Amusing because yesterday,while I was out, Shari called me to boast that she'd seen a Blue-headed Vireo in our backyard and wasn't I annoyed that I wasn't there, ha ha ha. So quickly getting one today evened up the score.
The Black-billed Cuckoo was identified by shape, size and flight and the Blackpoll Warbler is one of the proverbial "confusing fall warblers" which would probably have stumped me if Skyler hadn't been there, if I was even lucky enough to see it on my own. It took me quite a while before I got on the bird--happily it was when it jumped out onto a bare branch and gave us good looks.
In all we found over 40 species (I found a couple of more sparrows on my own) including my 2 favorite passerines--Cedar Waxwing and Brown Creeper. I also learned to identify a willow oak--with its long tear drop leaves I would never have thought it an oak, but I guess if it drops acorns it is an oak regardless of leaf shape.

Backyard Bird 10/9--Pine Siskin
I put up our second Squirrel Buster feeder this morning. One of our first customers was a peculiar looking bird--not a sparrow, not a goldfinch, yellow wing bars, small beak, striped breast--bingo--Pine Siskin. There have a been a number of sightings reported on Jerseybirds this morning under the header of "Siskin Invasion," so I was starting to get a little jealous--50 siskins here, 40 there, 4 during someone's commute. Pine Siskin has been another of the wish list species for our backyard, so I was very pleased to get one--not exactly an invasion but I'll take it.
These Squirrel Buster feeders are great. I started off a couple of weeks ago with the "mini" version because it was relatively cheap so I could test it out before committing to the more elaborate "plus" model.
It works by weight. There's a spring inside the feeder that will stretch whenever something as heavy as a squirrel gets on the perch--this causes the outer shield to come down and cover up the seed tray. The weight of little birds like chickadees or even cardinals isn't enough to trip the mechanism.
Supposedly the drawback to the mini is that there isn't enough room for a larger bird like a cardinal or a grosbeak. However, as I write this a big red male cardinal is happily scarfing down seed from the tray.
There is also isn't a lot of capacity, so you have to fill the feeder more often.
Once I saw that the smaller feeder worked well--no squirrels have breached its defenses and the birds have been actively feeding, I ordered the extra large feeder.
This one has an outer ring on which the larger birds can perch and holds 3 quarts of seeds. These are pretty expensive, but I've been fighting squirrels for a year now and sunk a fair amount of money into baffles that don't. Besides, I figure with the amount of money I'll save on seed that doesn't go into a squirrel's stomach, these things will pay for themselves in only 28 years.
Is it just a coincidence that Pine Siskin inaugurated the new feeder? Or will it be our lucky feeder?
As to the old feeder--I left it on the ground with what was left of it's wet seed as a final offering to the squirrels.

Island Beach SP 10/8--White-crowned Sparrow
Here's a sweet one: Today we drove over to Island Beach State Park. Island Beach is at the end of one Jersey's longer barrier beaches but technically it isn't an island, or on an island, but rather the southern end of a very long peninsula that starts at Point Pleasant about 20 miles north. I have great nostalgia for Island Beach and nearby Seaside Heights, since they are where I would, once a summer long ago, make a drive with my parents to go swimming and then to walk and eat along Seaside Heights' boardwalk.
Island Beach is the nearest beach to our house, but we hardly ever go there because, up until today, I could never figure out a good way of birding the park. Today we just worked out way south, parking at the head of 3 short trails and slowly worked our way to the bayside along each one.
In the parking lot this morning there was a small mixed flock of sparrows, one of which stood out with a very clear breast, a yellowish stripe near its eye and a very pink bill. Our first reaction was Field Sparrow but there was no rusty crown. Consulting our amazingly beat up Peterson's we saw that our bird matched exactly his rendering of an immature White-crowned Sparrow. This is one of those sparrows that everyone else seems to find with no trouble but that I have to go to a place like California to get, so I was pretty pleased to find it today.
Other notable birds we encounterd on our wanderings: A plethora of Golden-crowned Kinglets--I counted 25 and those are just the ones I saw, the cedar trees were ringing with their calls; a couple of FOS Brown Creepers; more Red-breasted Nuthatches than we normally see in a day; and 7 Great Blue Herons flying in a V formation.
The started out cold and overcast. White-crowned Sparrows were the predominate sparrow and the season sure seemed right for them. Not much was going on in the bay or the ocean. A couple of more weeks and the waters should be full of ducks, grebes, and loons. Today we had 32 species before lunch and considered it a decent day, especially in terms of entertaining passerines.

Delaware 10/6&7--Winter Wren
Today felt like our first day of winter birding. We took a quick overnight trip to Delaware's hooks--Bombay & Prime--because little walking is involved and thus Shari's recovering leg wouldn't be taxed. Yesterday at Bombay Hook the weather started out as summer--low 80's, mild breeze but 5 hours later it was overcast and blustery, but the rain held off.
We go to Bombay Hook in order to see the avocets and they didn't disappoint--there were a couple of hundred, starkly beautiful in their black & white alternate plumage. On our second trip around the impoundments, Shari found a lone Black-necked Stilt among the avocets in Raymond Pool, a rarity for this time of year. The other rarity we came across was a single Tundra Swan way in the back of Raymond Pool, obvious by it's bill and size. So, a late stilt and an early swan.
We ended the day by going to the best Indian restaurant on the East Coast and I've eaten in all the famous ones in NYC as well as in the South Asian enclave of central Jersey. It is in the most unlikely of spots, a Super 8 motel on DuPont Highway in Dover. To use the rest room you have to leave the restaurant and go into the motel's lobby, which is decorated in early 70's Seaman's Furniture style. When I told the owner that it was the best Indian food I'd ever had, he proudly pointed to the wall where there were framed magazine covers of Delaware Magazine proclaiming his restaurant (A Taste of India) as the best Indian restaurant in Delaware which is like being the best Italian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur--there isn't a lot of competition.
Today the weather started out threatening and made good on its threat about halfway to Prime Hook--a cold rain which I though promised to make birding either miserable or impossible. However, just as we pulled into the parking lot of the refuge the rain, for the most part stopped, and despite falling in an on again of again manner the 2 plus hours we were there, we managed to find some nice birds including an FOY Winter Wren, 3 Brown Thrashers which I miraculously saw before Shari, and hundreds of Great Egrets roosting in trees, looking, from a distance like cotton balls, as well as skulking in the reeds.
So, in heat, wind, cold, and rain we managed 60 species for the weekend.

Video: Vin Scully Quotes Bob Dylan as the Dodgers’ Playoff Hopes Slowly Die
Every day I receive an email from Google with all the Bob Dylan news culled from the Internet, mostly because I like to see in how many contexts "The Times Are A-changing" can be used.
The above headline intrigued me. Vin Scully is an erudite guy, but Bob Dylan seemed a little out of his range. Watch the video (it's only 34 seconds).
Uh guys, that's a different Dylan.
