Osprey at Duke Island Park; Little migration in Morris, April 10, 2012

From John J. Collins:

I saw my FOY Osprey and at least 3 Northern Rough-winged Swallows yesterday morning at Duke Island Park by the weir on the Raritan between the Hibernia Mine Bridge and Robert St. Hope to go back today as it will be a lot less windy.

From Jonathan Klizas:

If there were any migrants over northern New Jersey last night, they passed over Morris County. A scant few Palm Warblers were at various sites. Winter Wren, Hermit Thrushes and Ruby-crowned Kinglet were at Jockey Hollow. A healthy count of 45 Wilson’s Snipe were visble from the Friends Blind at the Great Swamp Wildlife Observation Center. The two Bald Eagles looked like prom dates (i.e. youthful) sitting on the snag in the marsh.

Two of the Bernardsville Trumpeter Swans have traveled down Jockey Hollow/Ledell Road and ended up at Ledell Pond on Tempe Wick Road in Mendham. As usual, you can walk up to these honkers and they barely move. Remember, they are basically captive bred. 30 Wood Duck and 18 Green-winged Teal were the wild component of the pond.
