Ray Duffy reports:

I took a walk around Laurel Hill Saturday afternoon.

 - I had a male Clapper Rail calling in the phragmites behind the Xchange.  I got a brief look at him on the edge of the vegetation but it was calling quite loudly.

– One of the Osprey flew in to the park and picked up stuff for the nest by the train bridge.

– I was watching the raven nest, and I saw at least 3 young in the nest.  I'll keep watching, hopefully there are more.

I also had my first of season for the Meadowlands chipping sparrow.

Thanks, Ray!
