Meadowlands Birding Trip

We had a field trip to the Meadowlands Environmental Center for a Bird Walk with members of the Audubon Society. This year's event was a few weeks later than last year's and resulted in the opportunity to see a lot of butterflies, including the Painted Lady and Question Mark:
