Closter Nature Center
Grey Catbird
We visited the Closter Nature Center early on Memorial Day. We saw a few birds, a few chipmunks and a few deer, but the highlight was encountering two wolves chasing a deer. We decided that another birding spot would be more relaxing and went to the Meadowlands. (Edited for correction:) We are more familiar with the coyotes in California, which are smaller than what we saw here. We have since found out that the coyotes on the East Coast are larger, so we're sure it was not wolves now. I guess we could have continued on the trail after all.
