The Meadowlands Commission is pleased to announce that bird-banding season by the former  Erie Landfill is now underway.  They have already banded some cool birds and a couple of surprises. Stay tuned.

The opening-day banders were (left to right above, sort of) the NJMC’s Mike Newhouse, volunteer Chris Takacs, the NJMC’s Amanda Iveson and the NJMC’s Drew McQuade. (Thanks, all!)

NCAA Football likes to time its first games of the season to our opening day of bird-banding, so we are guessing that there’ll be a few college football game tonight. And that there’ll be bands.
