This was the view from Laurel Hill County Park on Sunday on the NJMC/BCAS walk.
Hackensack River is in the foreground. The marsh is the Saw Mill Creek Wildlife Management Area. The white buildings in the back are DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst — not all that far, as the Osprey flies. (and yes, the dot in the lower middle of the picture is a Great Blue Heron.)
