Summertime Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

Birds of the day viewed at the birdfeeder and in the backyard: Mourning Dove, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Eastern Bluebird, House Finch, American Goldfinch, Song Sparrow. My first ever sighting of an Eastern Wood-Pewee, and my first sighting since 2008 of an Eastern Bluebird. I’m guessing birds are starting to migrate south for winter.
