We did see a breeding plumaged Common Loon which was very nice as I do not often see them this way in NJ. Also seen were lots of Pine & Palm Warblers, along with Eastern Phoebes and Bluebirds. We also picked up the first Barn Swallows of 2007 here.
We made a quick stop at Garret Mountain because our friend John had told us about a Louisiana Waterthrush that he had seen earlier in the day. Fortunately for us the bird was still in the same area and we got to see it immediately.
The bird was very cooperative, and we got crippling looks at it's "bubblegum pink" legs while it foraged for insects in the stream.
