This Osprey directly overhead was one of the many nifty sights to be seen on Tuesday's walk and bird-banding demonstration at the Meadowlands Commission's Harrier Meadow.

Other highlights included a Common Raven, 10 species of ducks and a Ring-necked Pheasant.

A special thanks to Bergen County Audubon for organizing and co-leading the walk with us.
