Horned Grebe—HOGR
This small bird pops up in a number of places along the Jersey Shore, but it seldom comes close enough for really good photographs. The waters between the slips at Belmar Marina proved to be a good place for getting close-ups like this.
I've also seen Horned Grebes in the bay at Sandy Hook and in the ocean off Allenhurst Jetty.
This is a stub page; I’ll be adding more photographs with the stories of my encounters as soon as I can.

Back view of a Great Horned Owl that had just flown across my path to perch on this branch.
The bird immediately looked over its shoulder to check me out givng me the chance to capture its face.
This is a tighter crop of the previous image. The bird clearly decided I was a threat and it should move on.
This was the third shot taken in quick succession as the bird turned its head prior to flying off.
