Who could resist that face?! Please be good to the possums and keep an eye out for babies. They are such great natural pest controllers and will help keep your yard free of ticks, snails, etc.

Save the possums whenever possible.

Many orphans can be left a few hours to see if mom comes back...NOT OPOSSUMS! If you see a baby like this one in a yard or anywhere, get it quickly in a little box or pet carrier with a blanket and keep warm and call a wild life rescue. Momma opossum can have up to 13 babies. As they grow, they don't all fit in the pouch so they ride on her back. If something startles her and she runs, one can fall off. Momma doesn't know she lost one so please never ever leave one thinking mom will come back...

It's that time of year again folks. Migrating hummingbirds will reach NJ within a week. Time to dust off the hummingbird feeders and give them a good once over.

It's also a good time to remind everyone that mixes their own nectar to use ONLY white cane sugar. No honey or brown sugar! We don't want anyone to be responsible for contributing to the demise of a hummingbird.

Hopefully Egg #2 will hatch this weekend. Preferably Sunday when it's not raining cats and dogs like it is at the moment. Since it was laid 3 days after the 1st egg, that's a good possibility.

The first of two bald eagle eggs laid in 2024 at Duke Farms hatched on Thursday evening.

02/27/2024

Time to stay tuned to the nest cam. Hoping to see some hatchlings soon!

We are on hatch watch for the Duke Farms eagle cam. Today is day 36 since the first egg was laid. This close up of the eggs this morning shows no visible pip. The male has brought food back to the nest which is a sign that hatching is close. The female has been fluffing the nest bowl and turning the eggs frequently.

And then there were two...... Will there be 3?

The second egg was laid today at approximately 3:36pm

And so begins another season of Eagle watching at the Duke Estate. Be sure to stay tuned to the Eagle Cam while we await the arrival of 1 or 2 more eggs. What will it be??!!

We are thrilled to report the first bald eagle egg of the 2024 season here at Duke Farms!

This will be the 20th season of tracking eagles at Duke Farms. This year brings a new pair and reconstructed nest after the partial collapse last summer. Although Bald Eagle pairs tend to return to the same nest year after year, nest collapses are not uncommon occurrences. The 2,740 acres of meadows, grasslands and forests at Duke Farms mean that when a nest does sustain damage, nesting eagle pairs have an abundance of options to rebuild and renest in the area.

If you live along the NJ coast or even inland a bit, please keep an eye out for these little guys.

Many of our Rehabilitation Hospitals have been receiving calls about Dovekies or Little Auks that have been blown off course by recent storms. If you find one, please follow the information below.

Proof that life with birds can be stranger than fiction.

A large section of Sayreville lost electric power Saturday after none other than a bird dropped a fish on a transformer.

As we prepare to spend the coldest Thanksgiving Day in NJ since 1901, take a moment to be thankful for our homes and central heating. Our bird friends outside don't have that luxury. Winter weather and temperatures take a heavy toll on wildlife and this season is shaping up to be a particularly severe one. You can help by feeding, providing water and by providing shelter. Check out these Winter Shelters and Roosting Boxes available here at Wild Bird Kingdom. They give the birds a better chance of surviving the worst Mother Nature will throw at us all.

Looking for help for someone in the Edison area. She has a Gambel's Quail in her yard and is trying to figure out how to help it. For those of you who don't know, Gambel's Quail are native to parts of West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Mexico. Definintely not a native NJ bird. Does anyone know of someone breeding them in NJ in the Edison area? Or know of someone who is keeping them and has lost one? Any help is appreciated. I will contact the homeowner with any information put forward. Thanks!

Just came in today..... New bird houses from Bayview Birdhouses. Love the bark on the front. Did you remember to get Dad something for Father's Day??

For those of you who have been wondering or asking about hummingbirds, they are definitely on their way. Last week they were barely out of North Carolina but, one super achiever managed to get to NJ on Easter Sunday. Whew! Come in and check out the new Humm-Bug Hummingbird Protein Feeder - no nectar required! It uses fruit to attract and hatch fruit flies - an important part of the protein required by hummingbirds and their young.

Coming soon, a new way to feed hummingbirds the protein they need. This new feeder will be available in April. Stay tuned for more updates!

Feeding the birds in your yard should be a source of joy and beauty as well as a means of survival during these winter months. Here at Wild Bird Kingdom, we are always on the lookout for products that combine functional ease of use by humans and birds with good looks and responsible manufacturing. These beautiful cedar wood bird feeders, suet feeders and nest perches fill all the above as well as giving us a chance to highlight a local artisan. We are pleased to present these items made by Mathieu L. of ML Timber Crafts in Warren, NJ. Mathieu has brought together his love of wine and his creativity to recycle bottles while providing a wonderful feeding environment for a wide variety of birds. A house-warming gift, birthday gift, anniversary gift or just-want-to-be-nice-to yourself gift. You'll love the attention to detail and craftsmanship regardless of the reason.
