With the help of John Workman, the Bergen County Audubon Society walk at the Celery Fram this morning was treated for a few good looks at the Connecticut Warbler that has been flitting low near Phair's Pond.

I got a few fleeting looks, including the above. (Thanks, John and BCAS!)

Thanks to the folks who answered Monday's Mystery.  There was a vote for European Starling and a "maybe not." 

I fluctuated beween starling and some sort of woodpecker... I think "starling" is probably right. Any other thoughts?

I knew I should have stuck with the caterpillar photo.

There have been several reports of a Crested Caracara in West Windsor, N.J. (outside of Trenton).

Greg Grad was nice enough to share this video. (Thanks, Greg!)

Various e-mail reports on the Crested Caracara in New Jersey can be found here.

Saw this bird perched atop a piling about 20 yards off the end of Piermont Pier yesterday. What is it?
