The photo of the plover, above, was taken by Alan Sanford on yesterday's NJMC/BCAS walk at Harrier. (Thanks, Allan!)

Alex Bernzweig writes:

"Just finished up a good but brief morning of birding in the Meadowlands. Along the ridgeline beside Disposal Road, I saw 2 kestrels and one Common Raven.

"The mudflats held at least 100 greater yellowlegs and just a few lesser. The bushes along the Saw Mill trail held Swamp and Savannah Sparrows, and finally at the entrance to the trail I found a BEAUTIFUL Vesper Sparrow."  

(Thanks, Alex!)
