Great Horned Owl (4 of 7 Photos) of Flat Rock Brook Nature Association Talk at Richard DeKorte Park (Meadowlands), Lyndhurst, NJ

            The Flat Rock Brook Nature Association of Englewood, New Jersey, offered a wonderful presentation on owls, educating the visitors at the NJ Meadowlands Commission at Richard DeKorte Park of the unique nature of these creatures.  The presenter and director of education, Jill Bennetta, spoke with such enthusiasm and passion, firmly maintaining the full interest of the audience.  After some slides, along with the main talk, she brought out three owls, one at a time, for the folks to see them up close.  Each one will never return to the natural environment, due to one disability or another; therefore, they are groomed for educational purposes.  One can easily notice the great care and attention these critters receive.  The issue with this one involved the strong imprinting that transpired with the original owner, who then took it to the Wildlife Center aforementioned.  It is too comfortable being in the presence of people . . .
The vast number of birds, both migratory and resident, enables anyone who enjoys the wonders of these winged friends a great experience whenever visiting Richard DeKorte Park, a quiet, almost hidden, sanctuary of wildlife, practically a stone throw away from Manhattan.  The variety of bird and plant species is incredible, so if one is appreciative of such, then learning something new is pretty much the norm here.  In addition, a wealth of insect species are present, each with its own unique traits that always keeps things interesting, and the furry, adorable critters such as the muskrats and groundhogs, to name a few, along with several kinds of turtles, including quite large snappers provide visitors endless opportunities to experience the fascinating world of nature.  Contrary to common perception amongst the general populace, we truly  believe that the wildflowers (often called weeds) are as beautiful as the popular strands.  And the Meadowlands certainly has a multitude of wild species for visitors to admire.   Seasonal changes do present fresh new looks . . . So, getting bored is difficult.
