We had a great walk at Laurel Hill on Tuesday, featuring some very nice folks and  — as co-leader
Don Torino boasted — we had “Ravens, Osprey, Peregrine and a Pterodactyl.”

The latter was a lifer for many.

Also had six butterfly species (nice!).

The walk was sponsored by the Bergen County Audubon Society and the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission.

Full list follows, thanks to Denise Farrell.
