Thanks to Chris Takacs for sending in this great photo of a Common Tern (foreground) with a Forster’s Tern in the background taken at DeKorte Park this morning.
Chris writes: Good comparison of two very similar looking birds. Darker, redder, thinner bill on the Common Tern, shorter redder legs too. Grayer upper wing to the Common Tern. Rare to our Meadowlands, these are beach nesters compared to the marsh nesting Forster’s Tern.

Thanks to the NJSEA’s Terry Doss for these great photos taken during Sunday’s Meadowlands Native Plant Day!!
A huge thank you from the NJSEA and the Bergen County Audubon Society to the 200 people who came to our first annual Meadowlands Native Plant Day yesterday (June 30)! Visitors experienced native plants in all facets, from guided walk of DeKorte Park to expert talks and visiting tables of local native plant and nature groups.
Special thanks to BCAS President Don Torino and NJSEA Parks Coordinator Gabrielle Bennett-Meany, pictured above, whose tireless dedication to raising awareness of the importance of native plans has improved the quality of life for many a pollinator! Thanks also to the BCAS for their generous donations throughout the years that have been used to increase the number and diversity of native flora in DeKorte Park!
Awesome photo of a Black-crowned Night Heron (above) and more taken by by Dave McClure earlier this week at Mill Creek Marsh. Always appreciated!
Thanks to Dave McClure for these wonderful shots of immature and mature Brown Thrashers taken recently at the Mehrhof Pond Wildlife Observation Area in Little Ferry, with a Northern Flicker making a cameo for good measure!
