The Board Members of the Bergen County Audubon Society are proud to announce that this year’s winner of the Frank M. Chapman Award is Stephen Quinn of Ridgefield Park.

There is no one that has ever been more deserving of the Frank M. Chapman award than Stephen Quinn. Steve literally has followed in Chapman’s footsteps from growing up birding in many of the very same places in Bergen County that Chapman did to his amazing career at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

Both men devoted their lives to protecting our birds and educating every one of the wonders of the natural world. Thank you Steve. The Bergen County Audubon Society is proud to present you with this award and we are very sure Frank M. Chapman himself would be honored to have your name together with his on this award. Please join us on September 12th at the Meadowlands Birding Festival in DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst when we will present Steve with this award.
