Boreal Chickadee in nearby New Jersey ~ February 26, 2019

On Saturday, while helping my daughter and son-in-law move into their new home, I got a call from Arlene Koch and, soon after, another from Jason Horn about a Boreal Chickadee that had been found at Merrill Creek Reservoir's visitor center. Fortunately, the bird stuck around and I finally got the chance to try for it on Tuesday morning. As I walked over towards the birders in front of the building, the bird showed up! Over the next couple hours, I got nice looks and some fairly good photos of the Boreal Chickadee, a bird that had not been seen in our area since the early 1980's.




Additional photos of the bird can be found in my New Jersey Adventures Album.
