American Painted Lady Butterfly on Buddleia Bush at Richard DeKorte Park (Meadowlands), Lyndhurst, NJ (2 of 2)
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.
