Spatterdock Marsh Paddle Pix (and Bird List)
Despite some uncertain weather, Bergen SWAN's Spatterdock paddle yesterday afternoon turned out great, with swallows and swifts zipping all around us.
That's ace nature photographer Ron S hields and terrific ace naturalist/paddler Mary Ann Schran above.
Some of Ron's nifty shots follow.
Highlights included Bald Eagle, Wood Duck, Green Heron, and all those swifts and swallows — while having a great time for a great cause. Full list follows as well.
