Titan Sphinx (Aellopos titan)Observer
camilladogDescription
Poor photo but I hope to get my SLR out there to get a better one. It was driven away by a monarch swarm before I got better photos. However I saw it close up & indeed it was Aellopos titan.

26°F and windy out on the jetty. Common loon for many reasons, including face & neck pattern. Could be first winter bc extent of white feathers on upper neck extending posterior. Hefty bill also.

Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus)Observer
camilladogDescription
One of the first hunting sharp-shinned I’ve seen this winter! Relatively small bird but blindingly fast! Square end of tail - has white terminal band. This one is significantly smaller than my regular Cooper’s. I’ll try to find a photo of bird’s back with white feather bases. Very typical.

Purple Sandpiper (Calidris maritima)Observer
camilladogDescription
On Manasquan side of inlet standing on jetty. Out of focus photos bc it was not meant to be the subject of my photo - saw it later as I looked more carefully. Photos taken at >150 foot distance. Squat appearance, yellow legs & proximal beak as well as pattern & location all led me to Purple sandpiper, but I’m no sandpiper expert so open to all opinions!
