DeKorte Park Map for Duck-watchers*

Trail guide inside map 8-10
*Your duckage may differ

With the Long-tailed Duck here for nearly a week and more than a dozen duck species seen at DeKorte Park on last weekend's Christmas Bird Count, we thought we'd put together a map pointing out where various species are being seen in case you can vistit DeKorte over the holidays.

We are also getting Green-winged Teal and Gadwall.

Directions to DeKorte Park are in the left-hand column of this blog.

Scroll down for various posts on recent bird sightings.

The year 2010 marked the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission's 41th anniversary and the continued expansion of our nature programs with Bergen County Audubon Society — including an Earth Day Celebration, a Kearny Marsh Cleanup, a Butterfly Day, a "Green Friday" nature walk, and a talk by Scott Weidensaul.

We thought we'd celebrate by looking back at 2010, month by month.    

Here are some June highlights:
