A love letter to The Wetlands Institute in New Jersey and the vast variety of wildlife that lives there. I saw birds, turtles, and horseshoe crabs on this trip. With a mostly soothing nature soundtrack. The Willets are a bit insistently noisy but I love them.

Thank you SO MUCH for this. That place is special to me; I volunteered for 2 yrs, was a seasonal employee 2 summers, and it was what kept me going throughout an otherwise unhappy stretch of time living in south Jersey. It's lovely to see some of it again.
Oh how wonderful! I've often wished I live closer because I'd love to volunteer there. I'm so glad you enjoyed the virtual visit. That makes me really happy
Yes! Not all over the state but in a number of places. It used to just be Glossy Ibises coming north to nest there but now there are White Ibis nesting too!
