We're planning a duck-raptor doubleheader this Sunday — a slide show and on local ducks and raptors indoors, and then a guided walk to see ducks and raptors. (Maybe the Long-tailed Duck will make a special appearance.)

Full details follow.

Sunday, Dec. 4, 10 a.m.
First-Sunday-the-Month Nature Walk with the NJMC and BCAS
This free two-hour program at DeKorte Park features a short talk and slide show on the raptors and winter waterfowl of the Meadowlands by the NJMC’s Jim Wright, followed by a walk along legendary Disposal Road. We’ll meet just inside the Environment Center. 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. You will have to sign a standard liability release for 2011 if you haven't already. To rsvp, contact Don Torino of the BCAS at greatauk4@aol.com or 201-230-4983.
