We visited E. B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Atlantic County, New Jersey, for a couple of hours before viewing a house for sale nearby.

A fine set of pictures. I hope the viewing was productive.
I was unhappy with the grounds. I would only be allowed to have a window box. I want a garden.
That is a real shame.
Trouble is I don’t have enough money to buy a real house.
That is also a shame
I loved seeing your hairstreak. I captured a couple of grays a while ago, but those and a juniper hairstreak are the only species I’ve seen. This one’s quite pretty — as is the landscape generally. I’d love having that horizon!
Thanks. I love your Grays.
You’re looking at houses? How exciting! Forgot until just now—one of my first frequently used passwords was Rynchops and variations on that theme. Also used Chlidonias.
The search is difficult. Many of the houses I want to look at the agents never get back to me.
What an incredible visit you had to Forsythe, Sherry. It’s easy to see how much joy you were experiencing out there in the open air. Each photo is a work of art. I love the billowy clouds, all the delightful insects, and numerous bird species. Great to capture the racer, too. My two favorite photos are the first one, with the field and farmhouse; and the GBH and great egret turned in opposite directions. Thanks for taking us there with you.
Thanks Jet. Glad you enjoyed my pics.
Nice images, …impressive ID’s. M 🙂
Thank you.
Pictures not showing, nice list, boreal interesting.
Hi Anne,
Not sure what you mean by pictures not showing.
