Some 60 nature enthusiasts took advantage of a nice brisk morning to enjoy DeKorte Park before settling in for the big game. Cardinals, “Giant” great blue herons and “woodpackers”  were spotted on the football themed walk, along with our resident Lapland Longspur and some Pied-billed Grebe. We’ll have more photos later.

Our next walk is Tuesday, Feb. 21, from 10 a.m. to noon, at Laurel Hill Park in Secaucus. We’ll keep an eye out for ducks, raptors and wintering birds. For more info email greatauk4@gmail.com or call 201-230-4983.
