It has been a brutally cold and icy winter. You wouldn’t expect many birds…But…
Winter is a prime season for raptors (eagles, hawks, owls), plenty of woodpecker species, and a small assortment of song birds. Cardinals and Blue Jays are stand-out species during this season. No wonder they are on so many Hallmark cards. And parrots? Seriously? Parrots in New Jersey during the winter?
