We wish the Bergen County Audubon Society a very happy 84th Anniversary! And what better way to celebrate than a nature walk through DeKorte Park, the jewel of the Meadowlands park system.

Since 1941, the BCAS has tirelessly shared their love of and advocated for birds, nature and the overall environment. The organization has introduced the joys of birding to hundreds of thousands of people, inspired kids and young people to become environmental stewards, and so much more to benefit birds, our natural resources and society as a whole.

Join them in celebrating 84 fruitful years in the best way possible: Being out in nature.

The walk is from 10 a.m. to noon and meets outside the Meadowlands Environment Center, 2 DeKorte Park Plaza, Lyndhurst.

Bergen County Audubon Society President Don Torino is excited to welcome Dr. Cailin O’Connor on the next episode of The Nature Connection, this Sunday, Nov. 23, from 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. The radio program runs the fourth Sunday of each month on WFDU FM (89.1) and is archived on the station’s website for the following two weeks.

“We will discuss issues affecting the bird population, like window strikes and habitat loss. We will also talk about bird banding in the Meaodwlands and more,” Don said. “Dr. O’Connor has amazing energy and knowledge that makes for a great interview. Don’t miss it!” 

Dr. Cailin O’Connor is a lecturer of wildlife ecology at Kean University and holds a PhD in environmental science. She has worked in wild bird rehabilitation for over 20 years and has been a bird bander for nearly as long, currently functioning as the bander-in-charge of the Meadowlands Bird Banding Station in New Jersey.

Dr. O’Connor is an expert on window strike mitigation and treatment of window-struck passerines. Her research tracks avian migration after window strikes with the Motus wildlife tracking system, and the fate of birds raised in captivity.  

The Bergen County Audubon Society has added a Harrier Meadow Nature Walk to its Meadowlands agenda. The walk is from 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Nov. 30.
