Our next free guided walk is next Tuesday, Jan.18, at 10 a.m. at Laurel Hill County Park.

We will look for our favorite Common Ravens, plus Bald Eagles, Great Cormorants, Long-Tailed Ducks and other fan faves. Scroll down to the next post to see what was seen at Laurel Hill this past Sunday.

(Bald Eagle shot at right, with Laurel Hill in background was taken 10 months ago by the NJMC.)

As promised, here's one of Jeff Nicol's shots of the Long-Tailed Duck

The link to the birds that Jeff and Co. saw Sunday at Mill Creek Marsh and Laurel Hill County Park is here.

Scene below photogrsphed by Jeff on Sunday is from Laurel Hill County Park.

That's the Hackensack River and Saw Mill Creek Wildlife Management Area in the background. (Thanks, Jeff!)

We have two more sparrows for you to identify, with a twist or two. What do the two sparrows have in common? 

They were photographed at the same location with 30 seconds of each other. Where were they photographed?

(Hint: The photo below is poor but it was chosen for a reason.)

Answer tomorrow.
