Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!
I still have some more birds we saw at the Edwin B. Forsythe NWR in New Jersey. Birds seen were the male and female Wood Ducks, House Finch, Clapper Rail and we saw a large flock of Brant Geese, Mallards, American Black Ducks, Brant Goose, Great Blue Heron,
The male wood duck is a beauty!
This looks like the female wood duck below.
A male House Finch.
You really have to look for the 2 Great Blue Herons chasing each other in this photo below. The tree colors are beautiful.
Pretty sure this is the Clapper Rail, another great reason to be at the refuge during low tide. These secretive birds come out into the open looking for things to eat in the mud.
Sorry, my photos of the Brant Geese are not the best. They were too far away, I wanted record a photo to show I did see them this day.
I am not sure about this Sparrow, possibly a SeasideSparrow? I do see a little line of yellow above the eyes. Any help is appreciated.
Lots of shorebirds, I am guessing Dunlin and maybe some Plovers? The taller birds could possibly Black-bellied Plovers?
Below Eastern Box Turtles and Praying Mantis. I went years without seeing a Praying Mantis, on this day I saw two Mantis right on the path to the visitor center.
I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments !
Here is a list of my linky parties;
Also visit: I'd-Rather-B-Birdin. Thanks to the gracious host: Anni.
Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!

This Great Blue Heron had a fishing spot all to himself until these ducks came by and would not leave. They swam up and down in front of the Heron. They were Mallards and some Black Ducks.
