Thanks again to all who attended our "Back to Football"/First-Sunday walk at DeKorte Park this past weekend.

Everyone seemed to have a great time, and a few eagle-eyed participants went home with some very nice door prizes supplied by the national Football League — including two helmets autographed by Colts rookie QB Andrew Luck.

A link to a photo gallery of the event from The Jersey Journal is here.

The full list of the 35 birds seen on the walk follows. (Thanks to Julie McCall and Denise Farrell!)
