Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates. Solve the puzzle to find the cache.

Lenape Park is an important link in a chain of parks which form a greenway along the Rahway River as it passes through Union County. This greenway acts as an important highway for birds migrating from the coast to the interior of the state and from South and Central America. Lenape Park's 400 acres are an important resting and refueling stop for these migrants. It also provides a safe nesting environment for some migrant species such as vireos, orioles, warblers and thrushes.

Over 30 species of warblers have been spotted in Lenape Park.

All warblers are fairly small. Most are arboreal, but some, like the Ovenbird and the two waterthrushes, are more terrestrial. Most members of this family are insectivores. Many migratory species, particularly those breeding further north, have distinctive male plumage at least in the breeding season, since males need to reclaim territory and advertise for mates each year. The migratory species tend to lay larger clutches of eggs, typically up to six, since the hazards of their journeys mean that many individuals will have only one chance to breed.
