8. The Wild Turducken (Celery Farm)

7. Northern Wheatear (DeKorte Park)

6. Mike the Shrike (Disposal Road)

5. George Pelecanos (DeKorte Park

4. Icky the Heron (Celery Farm)

3. Ralph the Redhead (Celery Farm)

1a. Laura the Red-shoulder (Allendale & Ramsey)

Write-ins included Pepto the Pink-footed Goose, the Great Black Hawk in Maine (it may have flown over Bergen), and the Gyrfalcon at State Line Lookout.
