Not much else to say…

The Meadowlands Commission officially reopened the Marsh Discovery Trail at DeKorte Park Wednesday morning, much to the joy of North Jersey nature lovers.

You can view/download a pdf with more information on the rebuilt — and better than ever — trail here. MDT-reopening-9-14lr

Above are pix of three caterpillars taken this month in DeKorte Park.

Two were photographed on the Marsh Discovery Trail. One was taken on the edge of the Kingsland Overlook Trail.

They are different sizes.

(A big thanks to Julie McCall and the MEC’s Nick Vos-Wein for finding these cool guys.)

Anyone want to try to ID these lovable larvae?

Attaching a few birds shots from the Summer of 2014. I spent some time at River Barge Park in the last couple of months. A very and calm and quiet place full of birds (especially at low tide).

(Thanks, Faizan!)
