Tuesday's Harrier Meadow Walk, led by Don Torino of the Bergen County  Audubon Society, was a big hit despite the haze, heat and humidity.

    We had 25 intrepid participants on the 100-minute walk, and several interesting birds, including several shorebirds, plenty of egrets, a Black-crowned Night Heron and a controversial dove.  (More on the dove tomorrow.)

    We will post a full list when it is available. To those who attended this oven-hot walk, all we can say is "well-done" — in more ways than one.
