The young Forster’s Terns are still hanging around, leaving DeKorte several weeks after the adults.

Despite all the bad weather in recent weeks, we’re still getting Clear-winged Moths at the Butterfly Garden in DeKorte Park.

Meadowlands Commission naturalist Mike Newhouse has begun his bird-banding research by the Erie Landfill again, and has gotten many noteworthy species already, including this Yellow-breasted Chat.

Jim Wright writes, photographs, maintains a nature blog (www.meadowblog.net) and does slide shows and walks for the N.J. Meadowlands Commission. "Focus on the Meadowlands" features some of his recent photos of the area's natural wonders.
