Barnegat Lighthouse, New Jersey

 Last weekend we enjoyed a trip to the Barnegat Lighthouse and beach. My main reason was to see the birds and the Lighthouse and beach is the scenic post.






The beach is just lovely for a walk even in the winter.




The jetty along the pretty Barnegat beach is a perfect place to see the ducks in the winter months.


                        


Hubby and I counted 30-40  Harlequin ducks along the jetty.








These are Brants and there were many of them along the jetty.



Brant, Common Eider (lifer) and a Harlequin






There were numerous Ruddy Turnstones and Purple Sandpipers along the jetty.





Thank you for the visit, have a great day!
