[Sue Gremlin]

Whoa. How long have we had those in NJ?

 

[Sue Gremlin]

Scott, is that a coonhound? Very cute!

Budd (Wilson) mentioned it in July. Pretty in pink!

There are 2; one juvie at the Brig division of Forsythe and an older one along 7 Bridges Road in Tuckerton.

 

[scott]

here's another shot.

I like how wild and open that preserve looks in that shot. NJ is a lot more than exits on the turnpike.

 

[scott]

First bridge, south side. That place is difficult to relocate with the in/out road. The storm tide will most likely move it.

Wow. I'll have to look for it tomorrow. I live so close to Seven Bridges Road, I tend to take it for granted and do most of my birding elsewhere. If I spot it I'll post its location.

thanks

Looks more like a white spoonbill--the roseate is absent ! LOL ! Of course, down here in FL they are flamingo pink !

 

[kayakmac]

The one Budd saw had a pinkish hue. Not as bright as the ones he's seen in Fla. He thought it might be a juvie.

 

[scott]

yes,this one is a juvie.
