Beautiful pics. I have to get back out to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, as soon as they repair the 100’ breach in the trail. I’ve been waiting since Hurricane Sandy to get back out there, but there has been considerable dawdling to repair the trail, as well as a lot of the homes damaged by the storm.

"Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
but only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit around it and pluck blackberries

I’d post this but I can’t figure it out tonight. Maybe some can post it. This Red Tail was on my telephone pole in the backyard a few weeks ago.

Are Marsh Hens really common, or is that just their name?

Not a birder here - unless it is hunting season, but I do miss Swampy.

This was the most recent Birdy thread I could find. Finally found a hosting site that is free and fast. Took this picture a few hours ago, male pileated at our suet,. They are regular visitors but very shy and we are always lucky to get a picture.
