Some 50 people came out for yesterday morning’s Bergen County Audubon Society Nature Walk at DeKorte Park and an additional 50-plus for the afternoon’s Birding for Beginners program and walk. And yes, the weather cooperated!

Birding for Beginners featured a great talk by BCAS President Don Torino on the joys of birding including tips for beginners about how to identify birds, including by shape and size, and what to look for when buying binoculars. Don also stressed that birding is for everyone; no need for neophytes to be intimidated. His passion for birding was inspiring and I highly recommend that anyone who missed the talk make plans to attend a future program.

We’ll have plenty of pics from yesterday to come, so check back often.
