Terribly Tough Teaser Answer

NJMC Naturalist Mike Newhouse banded this beauty last Tuesday. It's a Bay-breasted Warbler. (We said it was terribly tough.)

Congrats to Pat for getting the right answer… Did the hint in the Comments section help?

Our next free walk is at Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry, Tuesday, Oct. 18, at 10 a.m.

Bring gloves and a trash bag — We may do an impromptu clean-up as well. Lots of good birds moving through, and the foliage should be great.

Directions to Losen Slote are on the left-hand column of this blog. More info follows.
