Here’s the second batch of Mickey Raine’s awesome photos taken on Saturday, at Mill Creek Marsh. The Double-crested Cormorants and Egrets were very cooperative, striking some cool “look at me” poses. Thanks again to Mickey!

A migratory snow goose is more likely to be seen flying above DeKorte Park than settling on the ground. But this guy, who has been seen since Thursday at various Meadowlands locations, seems to have taken a liking to terra firma. Thanks to Dennis Cheeseman for this photo taken at DeKorte yesterday.

Thanks to Mickey Raine for sending in these amazing photos taken on Saturday, starting at sunrise at DeKorte and including Mill Creek Marsh throughout the early morning. There’s adorable Tree Swallows, Osprey and a Greater Yellowlegs. Indeed, what’s not to love about the natural beauty of the Meadowlands! Part two tomorrow morning.
