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.
