We saw this Dandelion seed head on a guided walk in Mill Creek Marsh last week. Somehow the winds of November had not yet dispersed the seeds. The Dandelion is not native – it was brought over from Europe to provide food for Honeybees, another European import.

If you look south from the edge of the Lyndhurst Nature Reserve, you can sometimes see an adult Bald Eagle perched on the distant 1-E Landfill. Both adult and juvenile Bald Eagles have been seen in the area this month. I thought I’d make this photo black-and-white to increase its artsy look, since it was basically a black-and-white shot anyway.

The Northern Harriers have been enjoying the hunting on the Kingsland Landfill along Disposal Road once again this fall. I have seen as many as three at a time cruise the side of the former landfill.
