Chris Takacs spotted a Horned Grebe in the southwestern corner of Teal Pool — can be seen with a spotting scope from the Lyndhurst Nature
Reserve part of DeKorte. (Thanks, Chris!)
Note: The trail is closed just past the reserve because of bad footing and flooding. We'll keep track of the bird and let you know if it is seen in a more-accessible place.
The Meadowlands Commission and Bergen County Audubon Society are sponsoring a DeKorte walk tomorrow at 10 a.m. at DeKorte, and we will look for it then as well.
Let's hope it sticks around.

Went out this afternoon looking for the Horned Grebe. Two birds present – one more breeding plumage, and one more transitional. Both birds were seen intermittently from about 4:30 til about 5:15. One in the Teal Pool as described above, and one over the mudflats across from it. Got some great looks (and some squinty looks…)
Thanks for the heads-up!
