Masses of dead seagrass have piled up on the beach during storms while a short distance out in the St Vincent Gulf young Grey Mangroves (Avicennia marina) are beginning to colonise

I spotted this lonely shell near the observation deck at Thompson Beach, Delmont, NJ. The tide was out and the home exposed.

Something to get us ready for the weekend and hopefully some Spring weather for us all!
It will be so nice when we can see this again without ice! Happy Friday!

A beautifully coloured up bird getting ready to fly to Siberia to breed!
If you have the ability to zoom in, check out the expression on the fish's face - it's classic "ohhhhh noooo!"

Something a little different this morning. I was down Thompson Beach a few weeks ago with a friend, hoping to photograph Northern Harriers. Well, the Harriers didn't quite work out as they were too far away. However, what caught my eye was this Ospery "V" for nesting amidst the massive expanse of winter golden colored marsh grass. Hence the title of this image. A minimalist landscape shot! Some creative processing in LR. Going to be like Springtime here in the Mid-Atlantic States. I am going to get out and enjoy the weather!
Thank you for stopping by~!

A Forster's Tern takes a dive for a fish. It emerges from the water, and just like a faithful puppy, shake off any excess water. The only difference is that the tern does this while flying. I am always amazed at the ability of this bird to twist its body, like a contortionist in a circus, while still managing to stay aloft. No matter where I see them, terns manage to get my attention. Despite a certain predictability, they are a challenge to photograph. Perhaps that's what makes it so much fun, again, and again. #iLoveBirds #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #America #USA #ForstersTern #ThompsonBeach #DrDADBooks #Canon #FindYourPark #FYPyes #WildlifeConservation #ChildrensBooks
Courtship feeding is an interesting activity. I was drawn to the mudflat in front of the Rutgers Field Station by the incessant call of a female Forester's Tern. I knew a male had to be somewhere nearby, and after beaching the bow of the kayak it was apparent that he was flying behind me, hovering over the water. He swooped down, dove, and came up with a nice sized fish that he brought promptly to his young love. Courtship feeding in terns is a means to procuring a mate and also assisting in egg laying and incubation. A male will use the lure of a tasty meal to attract an eligible female. Once mating has occurred, however, courtship feeding will usually continue, at times with increasing intensity up until the eggs have been laid. This activity is noted in a number of bird species, but for many the activity occurs after the actual courtship is completed. In these birds it is a way of helping to make certain that successful egg laying and incubation procured. #iLoveNature #iloveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #USA #ForstersTerns #CourtshipFeeding #DrDADBooks #ChildrensBooks #WildlifeConservation
Kayaking some of the New Jersey intercoastal waterways over the last few weeks has given me the opportunity to see some of our migrating shorebirds with a different perspective. It has also given some of our birds the opportunity to see me in a different perspective, too. Most seem indifferent, a few remain as wary as they always are, but several, including nesting osprey, seem to be much more wary than they would be had I approached them on land. Most of the nesting osprey, near enough to the waterways, will take to the air to check me out. A few have seemed downright annoyed, as in this photo. And on one occasion I thought I might actually come under attack. It the birds become excited I do my best to get by them as quickly and quietly as possible. Osprey survive on a diet of fish, and are the only North American Raptor able to dive into water to catch fish and then fly away. Though I think this bird might like to eat me, I don't think it was looking at me adoringly, at all! #iLoveBirds #iLoveNature #iloveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Osprey #Canon #WildlifePhotography

The photo actually makes it looks much nicer than it was. Somewhere to the right of the image is the ocean - we could not see it as far as the horizon, just a few puddles and they were probably from the rain we'd had the past few days. Obviously the tide does come up at times though given the amount of seaweed around.
Originally known as the Maurice River Lighthouse, the East Point Lighthouse was built in 1849 in Thompson Beach, New Jersey at the mouth of the Maurice River where it meets the Delaware Bay. The lighthouse was decommissioned in December of 1941 after it had been automated for several years. The Maurice River Historical Society was founded in 1971 to maintain the lighthouse and they have done a good job in restoring the condition of the lighthouse after a fire gutted the lantern room, the roof and much of the interior portions of the building and years of neglect had caused overall deterioration of the building's condition. When I was there, they were starting to get setup to host a small wedding ceremony on the grounds of the lighthouse.
Camera: Bronica SQ-A medium format film camera with a Bronica Zenzanon 50mm lens. I should have probably used a CPL filter to better tame the exposure on the front of the lighthouse.

This was taken in-between the bombs going off at the Army Proof Range 30kms north of here! I was on the beach when the first one went off this morning just after dawn! Wow it was loud! You could follow the shockwave across the water! Pretty awesome to experience! The waders didn't like it though and kept taking to the air after each boom! They were firing every ten minutes or so!
Poor little waders! if they were flying here 30kms away... I would hate to see what it was doing to them at the top of the gulf!!
