MAY IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE MONTH. THE DAYS ARE SUNNY AND WARM, AND TONS OF NEW BIRDS ALMOST EVERYWHERE. SPRING MIGRATION IS IN FULL SWING. FRAN AND I PUT ON QUITE A FEW MILES THIS MONTH; WE SPENT 6 DAYS AT MAGEE MARSH, A FEW DAYS DOWN THE SHORE ON SEVERAL CAPE MAY COUNTY BEACHES, PENNYPACK TRUST AND PEACE VALLEY. THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME WERE THE BOBOLINKS AT PENNYPACK. WE SEE THEM EVERY YEAR DURING THE SPRING AND FALL MIGRATIONS FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT THIS YEAR THEY STAYED FOR 2 WEEKS. WE WERE SURE THEY WERE GOING TO STAY AND NEST AS WE SAW A FEW FEMALES CARRYING NESTING MATERIAL, BUT THEY DID NOT REMAIN. MAYBE NEXT YEAR. MAGEE WAS INCREDIABLE AS USUAL AND A LOT OF FUN. TO VIEW THE IMAGES AS A SLIDESHOW WITH MUSIC , HIT THE SLIDESHOW TAB IN THE UPPER RIGHT. AS USUAL ALL THE IMAGES ARE COPYRIGHT BY ME, HARRIS BROWN, AND CANNOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION.
THANKS AND ENJOY
SEE YOU ON THE TRAILS
