Photo Study Of Some Birds At Barnegat And Brigantine January 12th, 2010

We were able to get to Barnegat Light in the morning and Brigantine in the afternoon last Tuesday. The sunshine and available birds made for a very nice day for picture takers.

Also, Barnegat gave us a great photo op for an OT Harbor Seal that was truly enjoying a sun bath on one of the rocks of the jetty.
