Francisco Artigas of the Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute shared this recent photo.

(Thanks, Francisco!)

Wonderful walk this morning in Ridgefield. More than 30 great folks and more than 50 incredible (and incredibly colorful) bird species.

Will post full list and more pix on Monday.  (Thank you, Bergen County Audubon Society and Ridgefield Environmental Commission, and a happy Mother’s Day to all!)

Marco Van Brabant shared some Midge shots with us. Just a reminder that Midges do not bite, and they provide great meals on the go for migratory birds and our local swallows and other birds.

A Yellow-rump is enjoying a Midge meal in one of the photos below.  (Thanks, Marco!)

Today, the prize-winning Meadowlands Marsh Hawks go for their third World Series of Birding title in a row against some strong competition.

Best of luck to our terrific team!

The lighting stinks for photography and the birds are neck breakers but so many species of warblers and at least three Scarlet Tanagers.

Warblers included Black-and-whites, a Magnolia, a Chestnut-sided, and a Common Yellowthroat.

Saw a Baltimore Oriole on our way out as the icing on the cake.

If you need to use a restroom at DeKorte on the weekend, please be aware that the restrooms in the Meadowlands Environment Center are now open for 15 minutes every hour, at the top of the hour, from 8 a.m. to dusk. Just something to keep in mind when you visit….

Thinking of visiting DeKorte Park or nearby Disposal Road this weekend?

Muhammad Faizan took these shots along the Kingsland Overlook on Sunday.

(Thanks, Muhammad!)

Now through at least Sunday, DeKorte Park’s Shorebird Pool levels will be lower.

We are hoping to attract all sorts of shorebirds, so keep your eyes ot and let us know if you see anything “good,.”

Tomorrow is the World Series of Birding, always scheduled for avian prime time.
