Day: May 26, 2020

Tuesday (26-May-2020) — New Jersey

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Birds of the Day — Brown-headed Cowbird, House Finch, American Goldfinch, Northern Cardinal, Gray Catbird, Mourning Dove, and Eastern Phoebe. Many of the birds at the feeder these days are young and are trying to figure out the pecking order. I finally got a picture of the new hatchling in the Eastern Phoebe nest. Can’t tell if it is an Eastern Phoebe or Brown-headed Cowbird.


Birds of the Day. Individual images in the slideshow are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
