This was filmed in mid-April!

Work has me stressing out. However I can come home relax and watch this amazing video about my favorite hobby. Thanks for being the best part of my day.

Good morning 🌅 to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰. So happy to know both of you enjoy seeing so much shore birds in their habitats.
-
Great job 😊 BIG CONGRATS on finding all the cool species.
-
Agree! Love this place.
-
NJ resident here . This is one of my favorite places especially in winter and spring and fall. The green heads are very plentiful on summer.
-
Great content, we definitely need to see the “President of the Marsh” again! Thanks for sharing.
-
Ospreys are my FAVORITE! So cool that there's plenty of nest areas set up for them there in Jersey.
-
Great Video - I used to go birding there when I lived in NJ and it was called Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge. Nice to vicariously enjoy your adventure!
-
Loved Forsythe when I went there. Recorded 74 different species. Love birding in Philly, and close to Cape May birding also!
-
Another AWESOME video, guys! My "bird bucket list" of places to visit is growing. 🙂
-
New Jersey resident here! This is by far my favorite spot to bird in the entire state! From my personal experience, Saltmarsh Sparrows are very hit or miss here! Tough bird for sure! If you guys are ever back in the state, I recommend checking out Cattus Island County Park. I usually see Saltmarsh Sparrows every time I go in spring/summer!
-
Thanks guys. Always cheers us up in the UK when a new Badgerland birding video pops up. Great stuff, as ever. 👍👍
-
Thanks for this great video. Many beautiful birds.🦢🦆🪿🪶🦩🪽

Another great video; thanks guys.

Really enjoy your videos. Yes, in NJ the Brigantine Division of Forsythe NWR is a prime birding site. (Not so much in summer, only because the nasty biting Greenhead Flies will not cease their attack.) We birders call it "Brig". Living in southern coastal NJ, I visit there a lot, & I've gotten many of my Life Birds there. Also, I've been fortunate enough to see some of the NJ rarities that occasionally show up there, such as Garganey & Roseate Spoonbill. I agree with someone who mentioned Cattus Island County Park, a gem of a coastal park located on a bay in Toms River, NJ. Varied habitat, including two areas of expansive salt marsh, where you'd be more likely to find the sparrow you seek.

The favorite birding spot of my youth, when it was still known as Brigantine NWR
-
EBF is definitely one of my favorite spots to bird in New Jersey. I've done the wildlife loop several times and only seen the the salt marsh sparrow once. It was on the return leg. One of the best times to visit is early May.
-
Wow what a great coincidence, I’m visiting New Jersey at the end of this month. I went last year and went to that exact same Wildlife Refuge so cool! Also as an avid birder and bird nerd, it’d be interested in seeing your checklists on these trips you post.

Glad you had fun down here in NJ, Forsythe is a great place, probably our second most birded area besides Cape May. Cant wait go back in a few weeks!
