The year 2010 marked the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission's 41th anniversary and the continued expansion of our nature programs with Bergen County Audubon Society — including an Earth Day Celebration, a Kearny Marsh Cleanup, a Butterfly Day, a "Green Friday" nature walk, and a talk by Scott Weidensaul.

We thought we'd celebrate by looking back at 2010, month by month.

Here are some highlights from March, when Disposal Road was the place to be:

March 1: Snow Bunting, Disposal Road

March 3: Sign of Spring: Killdeer, Disposal Road

March 5: Turkey Vulture, Up-close

March 17: Rare Irish Bird at DeKorte

March 25: DeKorte Eagles Plus

March 29: Greater Yellowlegs Are Back
