Barnegat area and Cloverdale Farm Country Park, New Jersey
I traveled specially to the Barnegat Lighthouse area to photograph Harlequin ducks. Well, I didn’t see any, not even one, but I did take photos of various other birds, some of which I had never captured before.

Ospreys around Cape May, New Jersey
The area around Cape May as well as the east coast of New Jersey is known for the many Ospreys. Some of the photos were taken in the Edwyn B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refugee and the others were taken on a boat trip around the area of the harbour of Cape May. The images of the osprey flying succeeded particularly well.
