Carolina Wren
Thanks to Dennis Cheeseman for sending in these photos taken earlier today at Mill Creek Marsh. Not sure what kind of bird the Northern Harrier is carrying, or at least what’s left of it…
Downy Woodpecker
Northern Harrier
After just about finishing up our Super Bird Sunday nature walk our hardy group casually strolled under one of the splendid River Birch trees that border the Meadowlands Environment Center. As I glanced at a branch just slightly above my head what looked like a small clump of dried leaves caught my attention.
After closer examination, this little, unobtrusive, dangling dried cluster turned out to be something much more wonderful … .a Polyphemus moth cocoon !
