Two Quick Mysteries
Here are a couple of mysteries for you:
Barbara Dilger photographed this mammal bone (above) near the Warden's Watch at the Celery Farm.
(Barbara placed the quarter there to give you an idea of scale. Does that makes it a two-bit photo?)
Peter Burger photographed this duck at DeKorte Park in the Meadowlands. Can you ID it?
Answers this weekend.

Its a pelvic girdle, of what animal I do not know. Rabbit?
-
Excellent question!
-
Did Barbara really put the quarter there, or was a turtle recently there and placed it?
-
The duck is a nice-looking Gadwall, not sure of the bone.
