Last weekend we enjoyed a trip to the Barnegat Lighthouse and beach. My main reason was to see the birds of course we did which is my Camera Critters post and the Lighthouse and beach is the scenic post for my Scenic Sunday

The jetty along the pretty Barnegat beach is a perfect place to see the ducks in the winter months.

The beach is just lovely for a walk even in the winter.

Hubby and I counted 30-40 Harlequin ducks along the jetty.

These are Brants and there were many of them along the jetty.

There were numerous Ruddy Turnstones and Purple Sandpipers along the jetty.

I love lighthouses...I could never see too many! And those Harlequin ducks are so pretty. Nice captures on all!
These are scenes I don't get to see on the prairies,so I appreciate them a lot.Those Harlequin Ducks are almost comical,but so beautiful.
Blessings,Ruth
I was wondering if you were going to show us Barnaget Lighthouse. It has been many, many years since I've seen that particular lighthouse. I hope to return to the Jersey Shore for a visit, perhaps this year. If I make it over there, one of my stops will be at Barnaget.
lighthouses and harlequins! Sounds like an excellent weekend! Pretty photos!
What a beach! Nice!!
Great photos!!! Harlequin ducks are vary rare in my country(if they exist at all)!!!
What a lovely slender understated lighthouse!
I enjoy looking at your pictures.
How great if I can see such a number of birds flying away at the same time.
Wonderful scenes and pretty ducks :)
Beautiful and the looks so warm !
In my place is one meter snow and cold!!
I have now a translator on my w.side.
Have a nice Weekend;)))
I like walking on the beach in winter too. So many ducks, are they noisy? Great light haouse shots.
Wonderful photos of the lighthouse. I love it. The harlequin ducks are very pretty. We don't have them in Africa. Thanks for sharing, Eileen. I love your posts.
Gorgeous and peaceful for a walk and a place to soak in the beautiful view..
Wow, Eileen, I didn't expect to see a common eider down your way! Love that Brants. Not that they are not much bigger than the eider.
I so love lighthouses. Well done my friend. :) And those ducks are just wonderful. Great photos :)
You have such a wonderful eye!
Such beuatiful colors on the ducks.
Love coming here! I'll be back!

Barnagent Light House brings back such fond memories of my childhood! Beautiful shots love the eider ducks :)
Two of my favourite things: ducks & lighthouses. Love the Harlequins.
Not too many things are as photogenic as lighthouses. I LOVE them. Nice addition to you bird photos.
Great shots Eileen, I love the lighthouse ( I believe this one is no longer in service) and great captures of the ducks. Thanks for sharing:)
I love lighthouses, they are so romantic ! (at least to me, lol)
Lighthouses and ducks - two of my favorite things.
Ducks are cute :)
The harlequin ducks are gorgeous to look at. The next time I see ducks other than mallards in the lake here that I can't ID, I'll send you a photo to see if you can.
Nice pictures.
The first photo is a very beautiful scenic photo! The lighthouse is so charming! As to the ducks, what can we say else than "sweeties" to define them? :-)

Hi Eileen,
Oh, such a beautiful beach. Love to take a walk there. Greats shots
Those harlequin ducks are a beauty! I love lighthouses, they seem to come with untold tales that leaves us imagining things. Beautiful shots, Eileen!
I love wandering the beach sands by the sea in winter! It's quite exhilerating! And I have never seen these birds before, so enjoyed your presentation of them!
The lighthouse scene looks untouched by humanity. Very tranquil looking. No wonder the birds are flocking there! I wonder if it's getting any snow this weekend or if it's too far south...enjoy the week.
Looks like a great area to visit. Love the ducks.
Hi Eileen. i would just love to see all those Harlequins and take photos like yours. Nearest to us are in Iceland though.
Wow this are pretty shots...Happy SS! Mine is up.
Mine is here
they are soo sweet!!! And wonderful captured as always in your blog!!!Have a lovely week, we've had a week winter-holiday, and people are leaving my house...
Beautiful scenic shots and an exciting array of waterfowl. A great Camera Critters post!

Beautiful Nature.

That's an impressive lighthouse! Lots of beautiful ducks. I don't believe I've ever seen the Harlequin, Brant, or Common Eider ducks before.
Sounds like a great place to take a walk.
I agree that the beach is always a great place to take a walk. I like all your photos of the birds as well as the scenic photos.
I love the lighthouse! The ducks are sweet! Don't think I've ever seen one of them before. Sweet!
I love lighthouses and this one is wonderful, I do miss living on the coast. The Harlequins are so cute.
Aren't you lucky. What a beautiful place and great birds you found.
The weather looks lovely too :)
Lovely waterfowl. Thanks for sharing!
Barnaget Lighthouse, one of my favorite places on earth cuz it is "down the Jersey shore". I loved seeing the pictures, made me miss home! (but in a really good way). The bird photos are spectacular. And it really is suppose to be one of the best places for bird watching! Thanks for sharing this with everyone! Being far from my original stomping grounds of NJ, this post was doubly enjoyable for me. hugs, Debby
All beautiful photos Eileen. The Harlequin Ducks are very cool. A super shot of the Brant, Eider and Harlequin all together and congrats on the lifer!
