I am tardy in posting these pix by Ron Shields — taken the weekend before last.

Ron writes: "Here are some weekend images from a variety of locations in the Meadowlands.

"The sites include Mill Creek Marsh, DeKorte Park and Clay Avenue.

"Some shots were taken early in the day as is evidenced by the light in the photos."

Above, a yellowlegs with a large meal; at left a White-crowned Sparrow.

Photos of banded Peregrine Falcon, a young Bald Eagle and a Snowy Egret follow.
