We spent a week at a house with lake access near Lyndhurst in early July. Aside from lots of mosquitos and deer flies there was a good amount of other "nature" on display as well.
Of particular interest was the kingbird nest with three juveniles; both adults were feeding them. We kept a respective distance with our telephoto lenses. The juveniles were slightly over 10-12 days when we spotted them, five days later they fledged and left the nest.
