Just posted pics of the pileated woodpecker i saw in Florida in September, and here's a pileated i saw 2 days ago in New Jersey! Only my 2nd time seeing one! I'm hoping the New Year brings many more exciting birds my way... #birdphotography #naturephotography #birdpics #naturephotographer #njbirding #photographersofmastodon #pileatedwoodpecker

Northern Harrier spotted on a trip to NJ the other day. #NJbirding #birding #birdphotography #naturephotography #northernharriers #birdsofprey

I live near Mercer Meadows in central New Jersey which is fantastic place to walk and to bird. I was out looking for northern harriers but found instead this merlin dining on a starling. In the few minutes I spent watching and photographing, the light changed to a lovely golden hue. Thanks to the handful of birders who pointed this hangry fellow out to me! #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #Raptors #MercerMeadows #NJBirding #NaturePhotography
