A big thank you to the more than 40 people who attended our free Tuesday walk at Harrier Meadow. The turnout was great — especially for an August Tuesday.

Highlights included hundreds of Semipalmated Sandpipers, a few yellowlegs and Semipalmated Plovers, Ospreys, a last-minute American Kestrel, several Laughing Gulls and two Monarch caterpillars munching on Milkweed leaves.

Our next free walks with the Bergen County Audubon Society: This Saturday at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. at DeKorte Park with Shorebird Expert Kevin Karlson. (Scroll down for more info.)
