As promised, here are a few Ron Shields’ Light-morph Rough-leg shots.

Ron’s only comment: “If only the sun had been out!”

(Thanks, Ron!)

Ron Shields reported a Light-morph Rough-legged Hawk over the Kingsland Landfill this afternoon.

We arrived in time to get some shots on this increasingly cloudy afternoon — will post highlights of Ron’s shots later.

Let’s hope this raptor from the north hangs around for Sunday’s walk. (Thanks, Ron!)

Hadn’t been to the area much lately, I spent a lot of the fall trying to photograph the New Jersey State Parks in peak foliage.

Anyhow, attached are a couple of photos from DeKorte taken Thursday.  A nice sunset, and a Junco.

One Fox Sparrow was skulking around, and plenty of American Tree Sparrows foraging outside of the Transco Trail.

Dave’s nature photography website is here. (Thanks, Dave!)

Thinking of visiting DeKorte Park or nearby Disposal Road this weekend?
