Hard to believe, but today is the Meadowlands Nature Blog's first anniversary, and it's our opportunity to thank you for your interest in all the neat birds and bugs and critters and plants that make their home here.
   Thanks to you, in the past 12 months, this blog has had  more than 63,000 hits. We are  averaging 175 hits a day. (When the blog started, we had 140 hits total over the first five days.)
   We were going to compile a whole bunch of links to earlier posts over the past year that would bring your attention to some of greatest hits, but we thought we'd keep it simple.
   Just click here to see previous posts on Snowy Owls, Black-necked Stilts, Tri-colored Herons, butterflies, dragonflies, flora and other wonders. That's what you've been missing if you haven't been to the Meadowlands  or haven't followed the Meadowlands Blog.

    For nostalgia's sake, here's the first post we did when the blog was officially launched.
