Ray Gilbert got some nifty shots of the Snowy Owls in action at DeKorte last weekend. At one point on Saturday, there were four Snowy Owls in view from the Transco Trail.  (Thanks, Ray!)

We will post DeKorte Snowy Owl shots by Muhammad Faizan tomorrow.

We did not see any Snowies today, but it was fairly windy, and the Transco Trail and other trails are covered with crusty snow that makes walking difficult.

If you go looking for the owls on the Transco Trail, take note.

Use common sense. Do not go out on the ice — it is a tidal mudflat,  never safe for humans.

Do not go up on the embankment (berm), for a “better” look. It is snow-covered and potentially slippery. Stay on the trail at all times.

A spotting scope is a good idea — the owls can be distant.

Regina Geoghan shared this photo of DeKorte Park after Monday’s snowfall  — “a stunning day to be outside in the fresh snow at DeKorte.”  (Thanks, Regina!)

Due to the temporary closing of Mill Creek Marsh, weather concerns, and the difficult footing on other Meadowlands trails, the Great Backyard Bird Count Walk scheduled for Friday, Feb. 14, at Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus is canceled.

This was a fun trifecta courtesy of Jill Homcy and Laurel Hill.

Congrats to everyone who got the right answers — Song Sparrow, Fox Sparrow and Horned Lark.
