Stone Road Bird List

This is an extensive list of birds that nest or stop-over at Stone Road Meadows which have been observed and recorded since 2000, by Tom Boyle, Hazlet resident and Associate Naturalist with the Monmouth County Audubon Society.

 

Many of the Birds he has seen there are Threatened and/or Endangered Species. (See Below) Also, Red Foxes have been spotted there.

 

Most of the significant sightings for Stone Rd. have been published in NJ Audubon’s [New Jersey Birds]. This publication can be accessed online at njaudubon.org. Volume [29] spring 2003 has an editorial note about 'Union Beach fields'

 

It was originally thought that the property was in Union Beach [it is a stones throw from the Union Beach municipal Bldg] 

 

Volume28 Spring 2002 has a photo of a Connecticut warbler taken by Tom at Stone Rd.  The photo caption says Union Beach. Most of the sightings printed are just a notation labeled 'Union Beach'
