Here’s the last batch of Mickey Raine photos from his trip on Monday, with the sole focus on the Common Grackle. Hope you’ve enjoyed Mickey’s photos today!

Dennis Cheeseman was minding his business earlier today at Mill Creek Marsh when a rather rude fox trotted right by him. He didn’t even stop to pose! Dennis said.

Below are additional photos from Mickey Raine’s successful DeKorte outing on Monday. Check out the Egret, Canada Goose with her young, Savannah Sparrow, Brown-headed Cowbird and Tree Swallow. We’ll have one more batch from Mickey later today.

Join the Bergen County Audubon Society this Sunday, May 1, for a nature walk through Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry. The free walk through this scenic urban woodland is from 10 am to noon and we’ll be looking for warblers, spring migrants and other birds of interest. It will be muddy, so bring boots and bug spray.

Losen Slote Creek Park is one of  the last stands of hardwood lowland forest in the Meadowlands District and the last that is accessible to the general public. Check the blog tomorrow morning for BCAS President Don Torino’s column on Losen Slote.

Losen Slote Creek Park is located at the end of Mehrhof Road. For directions click here. Information: greatauk4@gmail.com or 201-230-4983.

Mickey Raine had a field day at DeKorte on Monday, with great photos of a variety of birds. In this first batch you’ll see an Osprey and a Forster’s Tern. Stay tuned for more later today!
