The Bergen County Audubon Society will be happy to know that the plants they donated to the NJSEA for use at Mill Creek Marsh are growing quite well and doing their job in attracting butterflies and pollinators. Mickey Raine was out at the Marsh this past weekend and reports that he saw an abundance of Cabbage White Butterflies as well as bees and Milkweed Beetles.

Check out the flock of Least Sandpipers in formation above that Mickey Raine caught last week at Mill Creek Marsh. Mickey also spotted a terrapin and several spawning carp, below.

Join the Bergen County Audubon Society next Tuesday, June 21, from 10 a.m. to noon for a guided nature walk at Mill Creek Point Park and the Secaucus High School Boardwalk. They’ll be looking for for Osprey, shorebirds, herons, egrets and other birds of interest. The boardwalk is above a wetlands mitigation area and a great opportunity to see improved marshland.
