The American Avocet was seen fishing the mud flats between Harrier Meadow and the 1-E Landfill in North Arlington around 1:30 p.m. today — after flying from the vicinity of Teal Pool (toward the Carillon)…

Ron Shields and Dennis Cheeseman got some distant shots. One of Dennis' shots is above.

The bird was first seen this morning by NJMC Naturalist Mike Newhouse and Chris Takacs. Scroll down for post. (Thanks to all!)
