With November coming to an end and winter weather arriving very shortly, I look forward to the arrival of Harlequin Ducks to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park. Located on the northern tip of Long Beach Island along the New Jersey coast, "Barnegat" is a winter destination for diving waterfowl. Why this particular area? Well Barnegat offers easy access to open ocean from a rocky coast, where diving ducks such as the Common Eider, Red-Breasted Merganser, Surf Scoter, and Harlequin Duck prefer to hunt for food. When hunting or just in need of a break, these ducks will swim close to the jetty or sometimes perch on the rocks -- offering great photo opportunities! (click to continue ...)
