From Mahwah to Norh Arlington, the Meadowlands Marsh Hawks combed Bergen County for birds during today's World Series of Birding. At nightfall, they had a preliminary total of 127 species, including some surprising ones.

We hope to print a full list next week, along with a few more photos and a link to a major newspaper article.

We'd also like to thank everyone who donated to the Marsh Hawks. The money will go to bird research (and education) in the Meadowlands, and it is most appreciated.

And yes, the Marsh Hawks not only saw more than one Marsh Hawk (Northern Harrier), they even got a Gray Ghost.
