We recently found this artist's conception from the mid-1970s of what the Tidal Pool at DeKorte might look like. View is from the Transco Trail. The four-lane road on the right is the Western spur of the N.J. Turnpike.
If you look closely, you'll see several viewing piers jutting into the marsh — but no Meadowlands Environment Center, Administration Building or boardwalk.
Painting was by Dr. S. Birnback, dated 1975. If you know anything more about this painting, e-mail us.
If I look close enough, I think I can see the Shrike!!!
thought I saw the Wheatear too !
