drdadbooks:A Big SplashI practiced a little social distancing this past Sunday when I drove to Barnegat Light State Park and walked out along the beach and the rock jetty. A merganser drake came in for a landing and made quite a splash with his debut. Sometimes the action is better than the animal itself. A northeast wind kept migrating northern gannets drifting closer to the shoreline and into view from the jetty. It was great to get a last look at some of the wintering birds before they complete the last leg of their northern journey to breed for the season. #Merganserwww.danieldauria.com (at Barnegat Light, New Jersey)https://www.instagram.com/p/B98KmybAEcY/?igshid=fukxmfmiyn3f -- source link
