The hotspot for rarities has been Salem County in southwestern NJ, so my friends and I sent there today. First up was the Tufted Duck seen in Parvin State Park. This bird was seen well and the park also had my first Pine Warblers of the spring.

Later over at Featherbed Lane, Jennifer was able to find the Yellow-Headed Blackbird for our group.
Finally on Kings Highway we were able to spot the Crested Caracara and enjoy long looks at this bird.
