Just a reminder: Our Third-Tuesday-of-the-Month Bird Walk with the NJMC and BCAS takes us to the legendary Harrier Meadow in North Arlington, where we'll see a bird-banding demonstration before venturing into this 70-acre natural area.

The two-hour walk starts at 10 a.m. — you can meet us at the entrance to Harrier Meadow at 10 sharp or meet us in the visitor's parking lot at DeKorte Park by 9:40 a.m. Directions to both places are in the lefthand column of this blog.

Harrier Meadow, usually off limits to the public, features ponds and tidal impoundments and birds aplenty.

The walk is run by the N.J. Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society. Check meadowblog.net for last-minute updates. You will have to sign a standard liability release that is good for NJMC/BCAS events throughout the year. To rsvp, contact Don Torino of the BCAS at greatauk4@aol.com or 201-230-4983.
