From Harvey Tomlinson:
Staying local due to gas and many, many clean-up chores I did find 45 min’s to visit Pleasant Valley Park yesterday [Nov. 4 – editor]
From the top ball fields of the park I had:
1 Evening Grosbeak
2 WW Crossbills
55+ Purple Finches
30-ish Siskins
numerous blackbird flocks
and 6-7 Yellow-bellied sapsuckers.
I felt pretty guilty out birding when so many are really suffering, so I went back home and continued helping w/ the clean-up.
I was wondering if Jersey Audubon had reached out to it’s members to see if we can help each other?

From Tim Vogel:
Jonathan, I can’t recall the name you use for the road in Florham Park that runs off Columbia toward the German company but it was very birdy yesterday about 3:30 [Nov. 4 – editor]. [The mocosocoBirds and eBird label used for this location is Florham Fields, editor].

November 4, 2012
Highlights
Bluebird – 15
Phoebe – 2
Am Pipit – 1
Savannah Sparrow – 2
Vesper Sparrow – 3

The pines in Jonathan’s Woods, Denville, have been flattened. Looks like a bomb went off. [There will be a post later today about Jonathan’s Woods and other Morris County locations wasted by Hurricane Sandy – editor]
