My Column: State Line Hawk Watch

Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus is one of my favorite places to visit, the weather yesterday was not as oppressively muggy as it has been, and Bergen County Audubon was sponsoring a walk there. Who could pass that up?
It was a great time to catch up on old friends and the various summer birds that MCM attracts — including Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets and a cameo appearance by a Peregrine Falcon.
Oh, and the Marsh Wrens were sure calling loud and clear, everywhere we went.
