A birder’s meet-up


Meet at 2:00 pm in parking lot 3 on Morris Pesin Drive, at the south end of the park near the East Jetty (C on the map). The best access is from Exit 14B of the NJ Turnpike Extension. A park map is here.


We will walk the paved Hudson River Walkway past Caven Point, about a mile each way. Expected birds include bufflehead, hooded and red-breasted mergansers, green-winged teal, American black duck, mallard, double-crested and perhaps great cormorants, brant, and early migrants. Scopes will be helpful.


Restrooms are available at the park office.

 

We will bird for about 2-1/2 hours, after which those who are interested can meet for an early dinner at Zeppelin Hall Beer Garden, featuring a wide selection of European and American beers and German sausages and American barbecue.

 

For more information and to confirm your attendance, please text or call Bill Beren at 862 283-8754.
