I liked the sky transition from clear to clouded with hues of blues and pinks on this January morning. My feet were planted in Pine Island (Orange County NY) and the view is towards Wanted (Sussex County NJ).

Red-shouldered Hawk in Sussex County NJ
Red-shouldered Hawk
Hamburg, New Jersey
This shot was taken recently at roadside along Route 94 and taken with my car window rolled down. I did a doubletake after driving passed a small patch of trees between 2 homes in Sussex County. Luckily I was able to turn my car around and get in position for a few shots of this Red-shouldered as it scanned for rodent prey.

High Point Monument and Observation Platform
Sussex, New Jersey
The observation platform at High Point is located off the short but scenic driving loop. This is a very convenient way to get acquainted with High Point State Park, though not fully comprehensive of the diverse terrain to be found.

There is a great diversity of wildlife habitats at Greendell Marsh. I plan on revisiting the area soon to show more of the limestone ridges after the trees have dropped the leaves.
