Red and White Winged Crossbills at Hammonasset state park

After The Storm

It was are first major Snowfall of the year ,,,and since February is about half way through the chances of another significant Snow is dwindling  down..

Otherwise the Weather was perfect with calm winds and Bluebird sky"s so me and Joe P decided to head down to the Meadowlands and with a big surprise it was closed, next plan was Laural Hill Park which happens to be a great choice for a variety of Birds but the all the Snow cover made it a challenge for Digiscoping due to overexposed shots and back lit conditions ,,but we did manage to get some good ones .

There was a nice flock of 20 or so Horned Larks which I never got a decent shot of but this particular flock was very approachable and out of about 30 shots this one was the best.

There were no shortage of Savanna Sparrows ,,but they were all in the Snow cover which was a bit frustrating so a great deal of my captures were through away files ,I do have some decent ones though.
