Great Egret

Jill Weiss got these great photos on Wednesday of Egrets at DeKorte. Note to newcomers: There’s an easy way to tell Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets apart: The Great Egret has a yellow bill and black feet, while the smaller Snowy Egret has the reverse, black bill and yellow feet. Meadowlands photog Mickey Raine notes that he tends to find more Great Egrets at DeKorte and far more Snowy Egrets at Mill Creek Marsh. Thanks Jill for the photos and Mickey for the tip!

Join the Bergen County Audubon Society on Tuesday (April 17) for a guided walk through Losen Slote Creek Park in Little Ferry, one of the last hardwood lowland forests in the Meadowlands. They’ll be looking for spring migrants like warblers and flycatchers.

The walk lasts from 10 am to noon. For more information contact Don Torino at greatauk4@gmail.com or 201-230-4983

Thanks to Mickey Raine for these recent photos of an Osprey taken near DeKorte Park that seems to have his eye focused on the photographer before taking a hearty meal.
