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.



ACE is a screech owl who has been living in a nesting box just beyond Wright’s backyard since mid-November. Last spring, Ace and his mate had four owlets successfully fledge from the box.
Wow! No wonder you said you were "swamped at work." No doubt it was because you were rushing to finish this awesome, expansive article--or set of articles--or book chapter! So much information and great photos. Congrats!

I loved your article! Thanks for the link, as I do not get the Record. The photos are great, esp of my favorite bird of prey, the peregrine!!

Man will become better only when you will make him see what he is like.
