Meadowlands Liberty Region
It's for the Birds and the Bird Watchers!
Liberty State Park boasts 200 species of birds, including some on New Jersey's endangered species and protected species. Located along the Atlantic Flyway, a migratory path defined by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Appalachian Mountains on the west, the Meadowlands Liberty region is a prime location for birds of all feathers. New Jersey provides diverse habitats birds find attractive-- marshes, estuaries, hills, valleys, protected marshlands -- all found in the Meadowlands Liberty region.
The phragmites -- common reeds found both in the Meadowlands, the Kearny Marshes, and the Liberty State Park estuaries, host wintering and resident birds, as well as provide a spot for nesting rare breeders and feeding other birds. More than 100 birds have a use for this Meadowlands Liberty feature.
Larks, Snowie Owls, Pied-Billed Grebe, Black-crowned Night Heron, Glossy Ibis, Green Heron, Egrets, Black and Ruddy Duck, Common Moorhen, and Green and blue-winged teal are just among some of them.
