This Tree Swallow looks rather nonplussed that he’s being photographed. Thanks to Dennis Cheeseman for these great shots taken yesterday at DeKorte!

More than 60 people enjoyed a Bergen County Audubon Society walk through Harrier Meadow on a beautiful spring day yesterday and were treated to Ravens, Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks and Yellow Legs, among other birds.

Don’t miss the next BCAS Meadowlands walk, on Tuesday, April 16 from 10 am to noon at Losen Slote Creek Park and the Mehrhof Pond Wildlife Observation Area, both in Little Ferry.

Losen Slote is a rare remaining parcel of woodlands in the Meadowlands and the Observation Area offers great views of Mehrhof Pond. For more information contact Don Torino at greatauk4@gmail.com or 201-230-4983.

Thanks to Dave McClure for these recent photos from Laurel Hill Park in Secaucus, including the return of the Laurel Hill Ravens!

A huge thank you to the Bergen County Audubon Society who this morning donated 20 nesting boxes to the NJSEA to be used around the Meadowlands for the spring migrants! Pictured is BCAS President Don Torino and NJSEA Naturalist Aleshanee Mooney. The tree swallows love the boxes so much they don’t even wait for them to be installed before claiming their new homes. Check out the past photo below!

Dave McClure was kind enough to share these awesome photos he took this week. The Greater Yellowlegs was taken at Mill Creek Marsh, the rest at DeKorte Park. Thanks Dave!

Great column in today’s Record by Jim Wright about where to log on to view the action in Bald Eagles’ and other raptors’ nests in New Jersey thanks to high-definition nest cams.

Wright reports that two eaglets hatched at Duke Farms in the past week, so you can watch their progress over the next few months online. Wright’s column includes a list of websites to visit.

Wright’s Bird Watcher column appears in The Record and on northjersey.com every other Thursday.

Thanks to Dee DeSantis for these great Mallard and other photos taken on Sunday’s DeKorte Park walk following the Birding for Beginners Program!
