Welcome to the forum! I was just up there in Jersey this past summer, and while there, visited Cape May and the wonderful birding sites. I envy you, being up there this time of year and the soon to see hawk migration.

I was thinking Brown-headed Cowbird until I saw the second photo. I have never seen that brown on the back of the neck. I still think it is a Brown-headed Cowbird.

On a sandy dune at the beach, Cape May NJ two weeks ago.

I feel like I should know this, but can't get a handle on this one.
