The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission is proud to release the new “Birds of the Meadowlands” brochure, including a comprehensive check-list.

   The Meadowlands District is a unique place for bird-watching, as well as exploring and discovering nature. 

   This free color pamphlet, updated for the first time in nearly a decade, will help enhance bird-watching for birders of all levels.

    The brochure provides a check-list of more than 250 species found in the Meadowlands District and photographs of many of the most abundant birds.  It also lists the seasons when each species is most likely to be seen.

  It is duckling season across North Jersey. Here, Mom gives the kids a bathing lesson.

This tiny bird is the one you hear calling in the phragmites — but seldom see.
  The marsh wren is secretive — except when it sings.
  Listen to the call here.
