The free nature walk originally scheduled for Harrier Meadow in North Arlington next Tuesday at 10 a.m. has been moved to a new location — Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus.

The walk meets at the entrance to the marsh, near the Mill Creek shopping Center (directions are on this blog in the left-hand column).

We’ll walk around the site, looking for wintering waterfowl, raptors and other birds – including a recently seen Eurasian Green-winged Teal. The walk is run by the N.J. Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society.

You will have to sign a standard liability release for this event.  Check the Maedowlands Nature Blog, meadowblog.net, for last-minute updates.

To rsvp, contact Don Torino of the BCAS at greatauk4@aol.com or 201-636-4022.

We will post the list from Sunday's walk in the next day or so, along with a pic or two.

Sorry for the delay, and congrats to the winners who saw a Northern Cardinal and a Bald Eagle — both are NFL teams, so they win two free eco-cruises on the NJMC's great pontoon boats on the Hackensack River next summer..
