Had a bracing walk with Bergen County Audubon at Mill Creek Marsh yesterday morning, with a total of 25 species seen.

Peregrine and Kestrel gave us nice looks and flew in fairly close, and also enjoyed watching American Goldfinches chowing down on Sweetgum fruit balls (right, though not a very good pic).

Did we mention we had a great group of participants?
