NJMC staffer Irma Lepe-Lee called to report a big bird sitting in the middle of Valley Brook Avenue. It refused to fly — even as cars whizzed by.

Just as we arrived, the bird finally flew and landed on a telephone pole.

As you can see, the bird turned out to be a Red-tailed Hawk.

Best to be on the look out and drive prudently if you are going to DeKorte anytime soon.  (Thanks, Irma!)
