Took a two-hour NJSEA pontoon boat trip with The Nature Conservancy earlier this week -- a prefect night for a ride on the river.

Here are a few pix -- Osprey doing some housekeeping at its nest on the Lift Bridge, a young Yellow-crowned Night Heron, and a Great Blue Heron who perched nearby and did not care in the least that we went cruising past.

More info on NJSEA (Meadowlands Commission) pontoon cruises here. Best entertainment bargain by far.
