Jeniffer Obando took this photo Monday afternoon of one of the Glossy Ibises in DeKorte Park’s Shorebird Pool.

The photo is on Page A-3 of The Record today. (Thanks, Jen!)

Regina Geoghan photographed this Black Swallowtail at DeKorte yesterday.  We’ve probably had some Mourning Cloaks, but missed photographing them.

So this is really the first major butterfly of the year. (Thanks, Regina!)

Here’s a photo I got of a Yellow-crowned Night Heron on the Hackensack River in Secaucus this past Friday

(Thanks, Mike!)
