The free talk and slide show on the birds of the Meadowlands, scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 1, at the Hackensack River Canoe and kayak Club in Paramus, has been postponed until March 1.
Additional information on the talk, presented by Jim Wright of the Meadowlands Commission, will be posted on this blog closer to March 1.
The group's website is here.
Quick ride along Valley Brook and Disposal Roads at lunch produced a Light-morph Rough-leg, a high-soaring immature Bald Eagle, a Northern Harrier and a Red-tailed Hawk trying 
unsuccessfully to nail a pheasant on the Kingsland Landfill.
Red-tail proceeded to fly up onto a nearby pole and pose for pictures (right).
Two Bald Eagles were also way out on the Saw Mill Creek Mud Flat in a distant corner of DeKorte Park.
Shot of the Northern Harrier by Ron Shields is from the weekend but just as easily could have been from today. Thanks, Ron!
