We went for a nice autumn walk in DeKorte Park on Thursday, and could not get over how beautiful this place looks — even though we work here five days a week and are pretty much used to it by now. W

DeKorte Park is open from 8 a.m. to dusk daily. More on the park here.

These days we still have some yellowlegs in the Shorebird Pool, to go with the incoming ducks — Green-winged Teal, Northern Shovelers, Northern Pintails and more. Also getting Northern Harriers, American Kestrels and an occasional Peregrine.

We are posting a couple of views of DeKorte here — the Kingsland Overlook Trail head above, Teal Pool below — with a couple more on the "jump."
