Thanks to Dave McClure for these cool photos taken at Mill Creek Marsh last week! We’ll have the second half of Dave’s shots later today.

Take advantage tomorrow morning of a great opportunity to see a Meadowlands natural area that’s usually closed to the public. The Bergen County Audubon Society will lead a walk through Harrier Meadow, a beautiful, 70-acre natural area in North Arlington, from 9:30 am to noon. They’ll be on the lookout for wintering birds, ducks and raptors.

For more information contact Don Torino at greatuak4@gmail.com or 201-230-4983.

Due to the inclement weather, DeKorte Park and the NJSEA offices will open at 10 a.m. on Monday, March 4.

Join us this Sunday for a great day experiencing and learning about nature and birds in the Meadowlands beyond! First join the Bergen County Audubon Society for a nature walk through DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst from 10 am to noon as they look for wintering birds, waterfowl and raptors.

Then head to the Meadowlands Environment Center in the park at 1 p.m. for a special talk on Climate Change and its effect on birds by Dr. Brooke Bateman of the National Audubon Society.

Dr. Bateman is the National Audubon Society Senior Scientist of Climate. Her work focuses on helping birds survive climate change. Dr. Bateman is also leading Climate Watch, a survey conducted by community scientists across the country who will test the predictions in Audubon’s Birds and Climate Change Report against real-life sightings.

Don’t miss what’s sure to be a great day in the Meadowlands!
