We had another great Harrier Meadow Walk on Tuesday, kicked off by a bird-banding demonstration by NJMC Naturalist Mike Newhouse. The highlight: a banded Northern Flicker.
We had 30 walk participants of all ages, and nearly 40 species of bird. All in all, a great April day.
Full list (Thanks, Beth!) and a group shot on the jump.
