A majestic Bald Eagle, photogenic Tree Sprarrows, and graceful Forster’s Terns and Greater Yellowlegs bedazzled participants during the NJSEA-Bergen County Audubon Society Earth Day Nature Walk held at DeKorte Park this week. Thanks to Joe Koscielny for sharing his awesome photos!

Greater Yellowlegs

The walk attracted 15 hearty nature-lovers despite the inclement weather. New Jersey City University students Andreas, Neybery and Augusto were among the first-time visitors to the park. Their very wise marine biology professor recommended DeKorte Park as an ideal destination. Andreas remarked that he was very impressed by the NJSEA’s commitment to preserving and providing wildlife habitat, as evidenced by the tree swallow nest boxes in the park provided by BCAS.
