Winter has finally arrived in full force, to the point that Chris Takacs on Sunday caught a Ruddy Duck ambling along on a frozen impoundment in Dekorte Park. Chris also spotted the Orange-crowned Warbler below that has been seen around the Meadowlands District over the past few days.

The warbler in this photo was at the entrance gate to DeKorte Park; it has also been viewed from the park’s Kingsland Overlook and on the large pine tree on the road into the park, as well as at Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus.
