Don Torino of Bergen County Audubon Society, one of the leaders of our many monthly walks, has a weekly column on the wildnewjersey.tv blog.

His latest is on Serviceberry:

"My favorite 'lazy man' birding spot is at Dekorte Park, where a large stand of serviceberries grows. You don’t need to walk and work up a sweat; there is a strategically placed bench right adjacent to the trees. You can sit back and enjoy the bird show.
    
"If you happen to get a little hungry while watching the vast numbers of birds, wolf down the berries since they are delicious to us too. You can find great recipes online for juneberry pancakes, pies and jams. Just don’t pick them in the park."
