A friend of this blog wrote in to ask:

"I wonder what the 'next big thing' will be, after Bald Eagles, Gray Ghost (above, from Tuesday's Mill Creek Walk), Short-eared Owls, Pheasant, Rough-legged Hawks– Northern Shrike?"

We think that ship may have sailed for this winter, but one of the great things about the Meadowlands is you never know what might drop in.

What do you think? Suggestions welcome!
