Bonaparte’s Gull
Sandy Hook National Recreation Area
New Jersey
January 2026
Some life history from Wikipedia:
Bonaparte’s gull breeds in boreal forest across southern Alaska and much of interior western Canada, as far east as central Quebec and south to within 320 km (200 mi) of the Canada – United States border. It avoids dense stands of conifers, instead choosing more open areas, such as the treed edges of bogs, fens, marshes, ponds, or islands.

A White-tailed Deer cautiously surveys the photographer. Likely a smart move for a species that has long been a top prey item!

On a recent wintery morning walk I came across this Great Blue Heron adjacent to open water at Troy Brook whereas other sections had frozen over. Though I tried to walk by quietly, the distrusting bird took to the air.

Some of my favorite shots from our recent roadtrip. This was my first visit to the White Mountains and the landscapes and ecosystem were especially inspiring. It was also great to interact with so many travelers and locals that prioritize nature.
