I looked out the window today and saw this wonderful couple sliding their way to the spillway bridge.
They had just gotten married and wanted to have their photographer take their picture in their traditional Sikh garb here for their wedding album.
They graciously let me take their photo as well.
Marsh Warden installed two new Wood Duck boxes in the Celery Farm today. Vandals had destroyed the previous boxes and damaged several others.
Needless to say, if you see anyone damaging anything in the Celery Farm, call the Allendale police.
Karen Kleimann of The Town Journal has a nice story on the Allendale Red-shoulder Cam. Alas, it's not online (yet?).
I thought I'd post it here. (Click the story to enlarge).
(Thanks, Town Journal!)
I found the other half of Thursday's "The Bird Watcher" on The Record's website and wanted to pass it along.
This part of the column talked about the Birdy 30 winner chosen at random, Marilyn Taylor, and what bird-watching means to her -- a welcome and vital distraction.

Don Torino's latest post for wildnewjersey.tv is about the inspiring return of the Bald Eagle to our region.
Here's a sample:
It is hard for many to comprehend or understand where we were just a few short years ago and how far we have come. Yet every Eagle we see soaring overhead should be a reminder that we have done well but also that our job is far from finished.
We still need to preserve and protect the Bald Eagle and conserve the land and water they need to survive and to make sure that the next generation does not grow up denied the privilege of seeing creatures like the Monarch butterfly, the American Kestrel and the Little Brown Bat.
Rachel Carson once said:
“One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, ‘What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?’”
It is now our time to do the right thing.
