More Hackensack River
Today The Record has the second part of my story on the Hackensack River, featuring a two-page pullout of some of the attractions and distractions along the river.
Here’s a link to the story and slide shows, but this is an instance where the online version can’t match the newspaper itself. You can’t put a two-page pullout online. 🙂
The photo above is of snowy egrets. Below are a photo of a peregrine falcon on the Route 3 bridge, and a photo of a marsh mallow, the unofficial flower of the Hackensack River.
I took the mallow photo when I was kayaking on Lake Tappan, but I saw them on the other two reservoirs and in the Meadowlands as well.

Wow! No wonder you said you were “swamped at work.” No doubt it was because you were rushing to finish this awesome, expansive article–or set of articles–or book chapter! So much information and great photos. Congrats!
