The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
I think that my latest "Bird Watcher" column in The Record may be my best — because readers wrote about their most memorable birding moments and I sort of stayed on the sidelines.
My biggest regret — Diane Brown wrote a great essay on the subject, but it was just too long to include. I was unable to fit a few other nice recollections as well. My apologies to all.
As it is, I really condensed many of the submissions in an effort to get as many of them into print as possible. The photo above is of a Mandarin Duck in North Bergen, photographed by Icram Khalil.

Happy holidays!
