Springtime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

Morning walkabout and visitors to the patio birdfeeder: Black Vulture, Turkey Vulture, American Crow, House Finch, Song Sparrow, Northern Cardinal. A whole crowd of Black and Turkey Vultures in the back section. At one point one of the neighborhood cats chased the vultures away.


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


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