We got hit with high winds and dubious weather for Tuesday's DeKorte Walk, but five brave souls endured and were rewarded with 37 species, even though the weeks' rains have raised the Shorebird Pool.

Bergen Audubon's Denise Farrell, who co-led the walk with Don Torino, compiled the list. (Thanks, Denise and Don!)
