Phoebe

This little phoebe greets us at Allaire State Park every time we visit.  The NJ state bird may be the goldfinch but the phoebe is very prominent in the spring.  We watched him carry nesting materials to a nest under the bridge today. 

We looked for warblers and other spring migrants but saw mostly the old winter standbys.  We did catch a glimpse of a common yellow-throat and we heard both Towhees and white eyed vireos.  The yellow rump warblers were in fine feather and quite showy today.
