One of the Meadowlands Festival of Birding's locales tomorrow is the Celery Farm in Allendale. We took this photo this afternoon.

Immature Red-shouldered… Hope he sticks around.

Tons of great birds at the Meadowlands Festival of Birding today — including the American Avocet at Harrier Meadow, a Bald Eagle over the former Kingsland Landfill, Ospreys, Kestrels, Sharpies and more.

The first bird banded this morning? A Gray-cheeked Thrush.

The first bird that keynote speaker and legendary bird-chaser Sandy Komito ever chased? An American Avocet.

We will post the full festival list in the upcoming week, plus some photos of the best of the banded birds.

I just love the colors in this shot by R.T. Geoghan — taken Thursday at deKorte.
