Mill Creek Marsh Walk: The Belated Full List
We had a great walk last Tuesday at Mill Creek Marsh — though it did feel a tad too much like summer.
The walk, sponsored by the Bergen County Audubon Society and the N.J. Meadowlands Commission, featured 34 species of birds — including four species of shorebirds — plus Millie the honey bear pictured above.
She has been hanging out at the marsh for nearly a month, and seems fairly harmless.
Full list, and a couple more pictures, follow.
Three Free Guided Walks in June

Bergen County Audubon Society and the Meadowlands Commission are hosting three free guided walks in June — beginning with our first-ever guided walk along the Secaucus High School Boardwalk this Sunday at 10 a.m.
Other walks include our 4th annual DeKorte Plant Walk with the legendary Edith Wallace (no, we will not be taking any plants for a stroll) on Sunday, June 9, at 10 a.m.
Full info on all three walks follows.
Teaser Answered
Congrats to everyone who named the Clay Avenue Wetlands in Lyndhurst as the site of yesterday's teaser.
The smokestack was once part of a munitions plant that was sabotaged pre-World War I.
