Birder Ray Duffy visits the Meadowlands’ parks and marshes regularly. His recent sightings include a peregrine falcon and an Egyptian goose at Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus and a least bittern and a willow flycatcher at the Kearny Marsh.

Any idea to where that Egyptian Goose came from? I’m sure it was an escape, but from where?
A possible explanation, we are told, is that a woman called local nature centers and zoos a couple of weeks ago to see if they would take eight Egyptian geese. No one would take them. So she may have let them go.
