On Jan. 1, Meadowlands Commission Naturalist Mike Newhouse set out to see a different bird species a day.
He sent us his latest list late last week, when he had reached 119 days in a row.
We thought we'd share this list here, since he saw so many of the birds while on the job in the Meadowlands.
Full list follows.
