The NJ Meadowlands Commission and the Bergen County Audubon Society are pleased to announce a 7 a.m. bird walk at DeKorte Park on Saturday, Sept. 19.  

    The water levels in the Shorebird are very low, and we have been getting incredible birds (like the Glossy Ibis among egrets, above) that we would love to share – though we fear the celebrated Northern Wheatear has hit the avian highway.   

   Click "Continue reading…" for details.

    Meet in the first parking lot. Just bring binoculars, bug spray and perhaps sunblock. No need to RSVP.  It’s rain or shine; lightning cancels. (This is boilerplate.)  

   It’s 90–minute walk, but a few of us may continue to bird as time allows.  

   For more information on the current DeKorte birds, go to the Meadowlands Commission’s nature blog, meadowblog.net.  

   A special thanks to Don Torino of BCAS for making this happen!  

   E-mail Jim Wright at this address – you can call my cellphone 201-785-6604 before 5 p.m. Friday or after 6:30 a.m. Saturday – but only if you absolutely have to.
