Am. White Pelican Still at DeKorte
On the Sawmill Creek mudflats. Spotting scope a good idea.
Special Butterfly Day Raffle Prize
Nature photographer Regina Geoghan is donating her framed photo of a Common Buckeye from the NJMC’s coffee-table book “The Nature of the Meadowlands” as the grand raffle prize at Sunday’s fifth annual Butterday at DeKorte Park.
Just fill out a raffle ticket when you sign in at the MEC on Sunday. The winner will be announced at 1 p.m., but you don’t have to be here to win it.
Other prizes, announced every hour on the hour, will be NJMC pontoon-boat cruises for two.
You can see Regina’s photograph on display in the MEC’s Flyway Gallery through Sunday, as well as 59 other wonderful photographs, illustrations, and archival images from the book.
The Star Ledger’s review of the book is here.

Dennis Cheeseman took this shot at River Barge Park at 8 a.m. on Monday. We are guessing that it wasn’t far from high tide. (Thanks, Dennis!)
