Found a CONNECTICUT WARBLER at the Allendale Celery Farm ) this morning near No Name Culvert. Other warblers today incl. Magnolia (2), Redstart, Palm (2 westerns), Yellow, N. Waterthrush (heard), and C. Yellowthroats.
On 9/18 a GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH was present. This was my first fall record of this species for the CF as well as the county. (Thanks, Rob!)
This just in on JerseyBirds from Lisa Potash:
Just after 8 am with Louise Riccobene - stationed near the restrooms under the towering oaks and greeted by lots of activity ....2 imm and 2 adults RHWP.
Observed for 20 min or so when we spotted a 3rd adult!
I was taking pics of the 3 rd bird while Louise was watching the other 2 adults. After 40 min got quiet... 2 adults flew over the pond... And now after 30 mins of quiet ...a group of 5 birders are on an adult. Originally spotted by Larry Scacchetti. (Thanks, Lisa!)

Apparently the eagle wasn't keen on the Osprey fishing in his territory, and attacked him at the Osprey's 10:30 AM breakfast search at the Celery Farm on Tuesday.
After 8 rounds it was a draw - I had to leave for an appointment so can't tell you the final outcome. Sorry I didn't have a bigger lens!

A
Jolly Good Show – and it’s free!
Please join Allendale author Jim
Wright and Allendale wood-carver Stiles Thomas for a free and fun-filled
evening at the Allendale Borough Hall on Friday, Sept. 27th, at 8 p.m.
The event kicks off with Jim’s short and snappy talk and slide show about his
popular coffee-table book, “The Nature of the Meadowlands,” which celebrates
the amazing environmental comeback of this former land of garbage
dumps and pig farms.
The second-half of this double-header is the unveiling and exhibition of
Stiles’ recent bird carvings, which are both wonderful and whimsical.
A reception
with refreshments for Stiles will follow. Allendale Borough Hall is
located at 500 W, Crescent Ave.
Please call Jim Wright at 201-469-7349
for more information.
John Pastore commented on yesterday's mystery and sent in a pic:
Actually never saw the bird in the picture - saw the bush, and remember pics I got a week or two back, from Warden's Watch... Leaves matched, berries matched, made the connection. (Thanks, John!)
