Gadwall from the Meadowlands

Here is a photo of a Gadwall from our visit to the Meadowlands last weekend. The meadowlands is one of our favorite places for migrating ducks. We've been to some birding places that have hunters which takes the joy out of bird watching.

We went birding at Liberty State Park this AM. It was a bit overcast, but we saw a few migratory ducks. We left, went to city for gluten-free pizza at Pala Pizza, and then stopped at Dekorte Park in the Meadowlands when it was sunnier.

A quick trip to the meadowlands

We took a quick drive to Richard W. DeKorte Park in the meadowlands.
It was a nice day for a walk in the sun and we enjoyed the few birds we saw. However, we also like having a bottle of wine on our dock and waiting for the birds to come to us.
