This time I didn't have anyone but my two sons with me. It was very cold, so I don't feel bad not having any other DPCers, although next spring I might have a weekend gateway to Great Swamp. I will definitely follow up and see if anyone interested in that time.

| Who knew NJ could be so pretty (I can say that; I grew up there)? Were all those birds captured in the wild? |

Bird photos from The Raptor Trust. They are behind wires, but still very good opportunity to take photo of those great animals. Swamp itself is huge, covers three towns I think. There are other kinds of birds in the swamp during the summer and that's what I would like to catch. Not only birds, but swamp itself is very photogenic :)
There is a long wooden walk-board goes into heart of the swamp. There are bird watch overlooks and ponds that cast very nice reflections. Trees all around... and it's free :P |

| Looks like a fun place to photograph. I used to live near the Great Swamp in Brewster, NY. A different kind of Great Swamp, a Kayaking dream. |

I like swamps, aka wetlands. I won't ask if that makes me weird. I was absolutely delighted to visit my favorite local wetlands park last week (also has a boardwalk through a swampy area) and there was water! It was bone dry much of the late summer and fall and the wildlife was scarce; this time there were flocks of geese and ducks and a variety of songbirds. Bodes well for catching some more migrating fowl throughout the winter.
I do have numerous relatives still in NJ I can bunk with; I'll keep an eye on this thread and if I have some time whenever you decide to go next I may join you. |

| I lived in New Jersey for a year, and by the looks of this, it's pretty close to where I lived in Short Hills. I've never heard of it, but it looks like such a cool place! I wish so badly that I still lived there so that I could join your get together! There are so many beautiful places to photograph in that part of the state. I loved my time in New Jersey. |
