It’s not too late to sign up for Thursday’s talk by internationally acclaimed birding field guide author Richard Crossley at the Meadowlands Environment Center, from 7 to 9 p.m. The event is presented by the Bergen County Audubon Society as part of its 75th anniversary.
Crossley’s free talk, “Past, Present and Future,” will give insights learned from growing up in the wild British birding scene and travels around the world to living in Japan and settling down for good in the birding utopia of Cape May. He will also give his thoughts about the “Crossley ID Guide” series and sign copies of his books.
Richard Crossley is a renowned birder, photographer and the award winning author of “The Crossley ID Guide” series. Crazy, wildly passionate, driven and single-minded are just a few of the words used to describe his love of birding and the outdoors. For more information on Richard Crossley click here.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Steve Ceragno sent in these nice shots of Hooded Mergansers and Kestrels he got at DeKorte this weekend. A nice way to start the week!
Dennis Cheeseman sent these great photos he took yesterday of a pair of Buffleheads and a Ruddy Duck. This is likely our last post of the day, so have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Anyone who works, volunteers or cares about our environment knows how difficult it can be at times. One battle ends another continues and at times there are so many imminent issues that you cannot decide where to begin.
Unawareness, indifference and human greed towards the environment can make the most enthusiastic lover of the earth throw in the towel and look for another line of work. But many times, just when you think you’ve just about had enough and it’s time to throw in the towel there is something special that happens, an experience that rises up to remind us we owe many people countless thanks for helping our environment.
Thanks to Shayna Marchese who sent this beautiful photo of a banded White-crowned Sparrow she took yesterday at DeKorte along the Saw Mill Creek Trail. This was one of four sparrows that Shayna reported she saw keeping low to the trail against the wind.
Steve Ceragno sent in some great photos he took at DeKorte on Saturday. Above is a Pine Warbler. Below are a Harrier and a Mockingbird. Thanks Steve!
