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
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.

Rat Snake at Pyramid Mountain NJ
Rat Snake
Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area, Morris County, New Jersey
This small Rat Snake entertained my macro photography for a few seconds before we both went on our ways. Rat Snakes have a reputation for being one of the most docile wild snakes in New Jersey. They help keep populations of rodents in check and I look forward to seeing them while hiking.
