Springtime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

Morning walkabout and visitors to the patio birdfeeder: Turkey Vulture, Carolina Wren, House Finch, Dark-eyed Junco, Song Sparrow, Northern Cardinal. I need to find out where the Carolina Wrens are building their nest.


Daily backyard visitors. Individual images in the slideshow are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.


At least a dozen Turkey Vultures in the back section. Individual images in the slideshow are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.

The Daffodils starting blooming across the street next to a west facing stone wall.
