Our next free walk is next Tuesday morning at Mill Creek Marsh, a former Phragmites marsh in Secaucus that the Meadowlands Commission remediated more than a decade ago.

The park offers comfortable walking trails, some nice views of Manhattan and lots of birds.

The Green-winged Teal are back big-time, occasionally harassed by a Northern Harrier, and Northern Shovelers other waterfowl are gaining numbers as well.

The walk is sponsored by the N.J. Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society.

Details follow.
