To save money and paper, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission has a paperless annual report this year.

It can be viewed here. We're partial to Page 33, which includes some of the rare birds seen here in the past 15 months. And to Page 22, which highlights our partnership with the Bergen County Audubon Society.

Note: The opening of the report features a little music to brighten your day, so you might want to hit the "mute" button if you need to watch silently. (Thanks, Mike G!)

We are still seeing Great Egrets in the Meadowlands, in and around DeKorte Park. The one above was seen on Disposal Road last Thursday.

(Within 100 yards of the egret, we had a perched Redtail and a perched Am. Kestrel.)
