Due to expected inclement weather, tonight’s (July 13) open public viewing at the William D. McDowell Observatory in DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst has been cancelled. The next open public viewing night is Wednesday, July 20, from 8:30 to 10:30 pm

Christine Fitzpatrick was at DeKorte on Monday and sent in this series of photos of a Cedar Waxwing and a Robin at the fountain at Jill’s Garden. She wonders whether the birds are in the midst of a standoff or just having a good time together. Good question. Thanks Christine!

Below are photos of, in order, a Goldfinch, Downy Woodpecker and Marsh Wren taken by Rich Brown at DeKorte this past weekend. Thanks Rich!
