On Saturday we attended the Littoral Society‘s annual picnic at Sandy Hook, part of Gateway NRA. We went on the bird walk led by Don Riepe. I lost count of the Ospreys. Every chimney had a nest.

I’ve never seen a photo of a Cedar Waxwing in flight: at least, not one that shows their grace so well.
I was lucky to be there. This one was hawking for insects. You can see one in one of the photos.
Well done for getting so many on the move
Yup! I used the spray and pray method.
🙂
It looks like an ideal place for bird spotting Sherry. Nice shots and I love the Osprey fly-by 🙂
I could do Ospreys all day there because there must be over 100.
Excellent photos, Sherry.
