Made a quick trip to Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry this week, and the natural area was decked out in  the hues of late November — tans and browns and russets and grays.

The water pictured at the bottom of the image is Losen Slote — with "Slote" being Dutch for "creek" or, more commonly,  "ditch."

Birding was slow, but we did see a Redtail,  Fox Sparrow (pictured here), and a late turtle and a late dragonfly.
