Our next free guided walk with Bergen County Audubon is next Tuesday at 10 a.m. at Harrier Meadow, a wonderful birding oasis.

  If weather permits, the walk will begin with a not-to-be-missed bird-banding demo by NJMC Naturalist Mike Newhouse and his crew.

This week we have seen Green-winged Teal, No. Shovelers, No. Pintails, Common Mergs, Gadwall and Red-tails at Harrier.

Previous Harrier Meadow posts are here. Details follow.

Third-Tuesday-of-the-Month Bird Walk with the NJMC and BCAS
This free two-hour guided nature walk will take us to the legendary Harrier Meadow  in North Arlington. The 70-acre site, usually off limits to the public, features ponds and tidal impoundments and birds aplenty – including a bird-banding demonstration.  We meet at 10 a.m. at the entrance to Harrier Meadow on Disposal Road. You can also meet us at the visitors’ parking lot at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst at 9:30 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. You will have to sign a standard liability release for this event.
