We are all set for tomorrow's 10 a.m. Harrier Meadow walk and bird-banding demo, with one small change.
We had planned to allow some participants to park in DeKorte Park by 9:40 a.m. and car-pool to Harrier Meadow (about a half-mile away), but DeKorte is hosting a solar-energy conference and parking will be at a premium.
If you want to carpool, please meet us outside DeKorte at the entrance to Disposal Road by 9:40 a.m.
Above is an Indigo Bunting banded this morning.
The walk is rain or shine. The bird banding may be weather-dependent.
Full listing follows.
Tuesday, May 18, 10 a.m.

You can also meet us at the visitors’ parking lot at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst at 9:45 a.m. and we can carpool. The walk is run by the N.J. Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society. Check meadowblog.net for last-minute updates and weather advisories.
