1/2 day local patch birdlist 48 species (1 Viewer)

Spent a morning and early afternoon birding with some visiting birders yesterday and I thought I would post a list for anyone who happens to be visiting Central or Northern New Jersey soon. These are mostly year-round or wintering species and the list changes drastically in a month or two as breeding Neotropic birds move in .Areas birded were the Meadowlands and New Brunswick area.

PS If you need a Northern or Central NJ bird guide for a day I can gladly do it free , have a scope and know all of the local patches.


Here's the list in no particular order:
Great Cormorant
Double crested Cormorant
House Sparrow
Northern Cardinal
Dark eyed Junco

Rock Dove
American Robin
Red winged Blackbird
Fish Crow
