Year 2020

I saw 15 new bird species for Middlesex County in 2020 which was very nice.  I hope I can find a lot more for 2021.  I still need to see a lot more birds as lifers and for my Middlesex County list.

Here are the 6 birds that were lifers:

Mute Swan, American Bittern, Black-crowned Night Heron, Rough-legged Hawk, Olive-sided Flycatcher, and Cliff Swallow

Black-crowned Night Heron

Olive-sided Flycatcher

The next list, I saw these birds for the first time in Middlesex County.  I have seen these birds elsewhere in other counties or in Florida:

Gadwall, Northern Harrier, Sandhill Crane, Eastern Bluebird, Northern Mockingbird, Golden-winged Warbler, Northern Parula, Eastern Towhee, and Purple Finch.


 Northern Mockingbird


Sandhill Crane


Eastern Bluebird

I didn't find any butterfly or dragonfly lifers this year.

That wraps up the year 2020.  


Happy New Year 2021.....stay safe and stay healthy.

Good Birding!
