Want to hear (and hopefully see) American Woodcocks peenting and possibly displaying?

The Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society are holding a free bonus walk this Thursday (March 15) at Laurel Hill in Secaucus.

We'll meet in the ballfields parking lot at Laurel Hill at 5:30 p.m., or you can meet in DeKorte Park's visitor's parking lot and follow Jim Wright — he'll be leaving DeKorte at 5 p.m. The walk should end a little after 7:30 p.m.

We will also look for the Laurel Hill ravens and any other interesting birds we can find.

Directions to Laurel Hill are on the left-hand side of this blog.

Check meadowblog.net for last-minute weather updates. You will have to sign a standard liability release that is good for NJMC/BCAS events throughout the year.  To rsvp, contact Don Torino of the BCAS at greatauk4@aol.com or 201-230-4983.
