We had fleeting looks at Black Skimmers on Sunday's free DeKorte walk, but Herb Houghton got better looks (and some nice pix) following the reception for his month-long photography show at the Flyway Gallery at the Meadowlands Environment Center.

Herb was nice enough to share a couple. (Thanks, Herb!)

Yes, this bird is a Cedar Waxwing — you can tell by the red "waxy" wingtips and yelllow tip of the  tail. Thanks to all who got it right. We even saw a flock on Sunday's walk.
