There I found great late spring birding along the Hudson River's western shore. While crossing the GWB I found this 2nd spring Peregrine on the eastern span.
Once on the Jersey side, I found the resident red-tailed hawks staking out the starling nests along the cliffs.
Looks like someone took a bite out of her wing...I wonder who?
That's who! And this is why:
seems there are at least 3 eyass in the scrape.
I also found tons of orioles,
flycatchers of all sorts,
waxwings,
as well as yellow warblers and a variety of swallows. I also found this momma Turkey with about 12 poults.
Last but not least there was also a bumper crop of deer, deer ticks and bunnies.
Great birding within waking distance.

Can anyone identify the type of fruit that the oriole was eating? I would love to plant it on my property. It sort of looks like some type of elderberry but they are usually black.
Thanks for your comment scifibird. I think the bush is: Pyracantha Wild Red Berries bush
