While two Harlequin Duck hens took a break from the rough Atlantic Ocean, two Ruddy Turnstones approached from the background.

Northern Harrier
Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville NJ
Winter 2009
“Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.”
I liked how the silhouetted hawk in flight glided (searching for prey) just above the reeds. I also loved the pink sky tones signaling the end of the day.
Sanderling in Sandstorm
2016 at Island Beach State Park
One of my favorite New Jersey bird photographs, it was amazing to see the amount of force this brave Sanderling withstood.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Denville, NJ
Taken recently, through living room window. It only took about 3 days of having a new filled feeder out for a local Hummingbird to start visiting us. I put a feeder up in both the frontyard and the backyard and intentionally placed the feeders in habitat that includes both sunlight and a little bit of tree cover. My plan seemed to be to the birds’ liking so far.
