The small group of birders who came out at two o'clock on Tuesday had some good views of the Black-necked Stilt, and (strength in numbers) several other solid birds as well, including Northern Harrier and Blue-winged Teal.
We will be meeting at the entrance to Harrier Meadow in North Arlington at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday for another "winging it" bird walk. RSVP us here if you can attend.

This baby Killdeer is one of many racing around Disposal Road in Lyndhurst.
Jokes about "Killfawn" aside, please drive slowly If you are using this road.
We saw the Black-necked Stilt at Harrier Meadow in North Arlington again this morning.
We are hoping he sticks around, but there is no guarantee. With that in mind, we are going to set up a walk for this afternoon and another 9:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
E-mail us if you are interested. I will repost this same post as I get more information.
Can you identify this bird?

We saw this guy under the elevated boardwalk by the Visitor's Center at DeKorte Park last week, then waited for him to emerge from the shadows.
