Backyard Wintertime Nature in New Jersey.

There were not many critters at the bird feeder today. The weather prediction calls for snow then heavy rain, followed by temperatures dropping Sunday night.

Winter Nature in New Jersey. Sourland Mountain Preserve.

Ducks and Great Blue Heron at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. The ducks usually leave the pond for somewhere more quiet when the Canada Geese show up. I had not seen a Heron here before in the winter.
