Dennis Cheeseman got these shots (and the accompanying I.D.s) during a recent winter precipitation event at Mill Creek Marsh. (Thanks, Dennis!)
Next up for Dennis: snowy owls and snowy egrets, no doubt.

Our Next Walk: Laurel Hill, Jan. 20
Our Third Tuesday of the Month Walk for January is the amazing Laurel Hill County Park in Secaucus, which abounds in both natural history and local history. Never know what you’ll see at Laurel Hill — Common Ravens, Redtails, Peregrines and more. The walk begins at 10 a.m.
Full information follows.
Owl-Pellet Tuesday Teaser Answered
On Tuesday, we asked readers to I.D. the owls who coughed up these four pellets in the Meadowlands.
We said we are certain of two of the three pellet producers, and have a hunch who the other coughivore was.
The first pellet is from a Barn Owl. We saw it this week, flying away from the drop zone.
Middle photo: We think these two pellets are from a Long-eared Owl.
