Help the legendary Meadowlands Marsh Hawks!
They are preparing for their second World Series of Birding on Saturday, May 12. They will be competing in the county-wide category, trying to see as many species of birds in Bergen County in 24 hours as they can — and raise money for a new native butterfly/bird garden planned for the Carillon area on Disposal Road.
Last year, the Marsh Hawks raised hundreds of dollars for bird research in the Meadowlands.

Make sure to take a ride through Rutherford – there are a pair of wild turkeys roaming around. I’ve seen them on the corner of Montross/Morse, and have friends who have seen them on Prospect/Morse and Washington/Wood. These cross streets are within a 6 block radius and sightings are frequent lately.
