Just a  reminder to set your clocks back an hour Saturday night — especially  if you're planning to go on the First Sunday walk  at DeKorte 10 a.m. this weekend.  We are still getting yellowlegs and assorted egrets, and some ducks are arriving as well.

   Here's the listing:

Sunday, November 1, 10 a.m.

First-Sunday-of-the-Month Bird Walk with Bergen County Audubon Society
   This free two-hour nature walk starts outside the Meadowlands Environment Center in DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst,  and runs from 10 a.m. We’ll walk around the 110-acre park, looking for straggling shorebirds, newly arrived waterfowls and other birds.  To rsvp, contact Don Torino of the BCAS at greatauk4@aol.com or 201-636-4022.

    Sign of the season: Ray Duffy reports that [Thursday] "I made a quick stop at Mehrhof Pond, and there was a float of approximately 75 Ruddy Ducks with 3 Lesser Scaup (1 male snoozing and 2 females preening)."
