What a great way to kickoff December and the holiday season! The nature walk yesterday on Disposal Road led by the Bergen County Audubon Society was a great success, with nearly 40 people taking in Kestrels, Merlins and many more on a beautiful Sunday morning.

Here’s a first batch of photos courtesy of Mary Kostus, with more to follow.

Don’t miss the next free Meadowlands Nature Walk led by the BCAS on Tuesday, Dec. 15, at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst. We’ll be looking for wintering waterfowl, raptors and other birds of interest. The walk takes place from 10 am to noon and meets in the Meadowlands Environment Center parking lot. Information: greatauk4@gmail.com or 201-230-4983.
