Edith Wallace, Fyke member and long-time friend of the Celery Farm, has just been named a recipient of one of five "Women & Wildlife Awards" for 2013 by the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey.

Edith, with her invaluable knowledge of plants and many other aspects of nature, helps on many Celery Farm guided walks and is co-author (along with Deedee Burnside and Nancy Bristow) of the indispensable book "Identifying Woody Plants at the Celery Farm Natural Area." 

Edith will be honored at a banquet at the Trenton Country Club on Wedneday, Dec. 4, next month.

(Congratulations, Edith!)

My latest column is about that all-white Catbird that hung out in the Celery Farm in late September and early October.

It features a great Jerry Barrack photo of the bird (above) and lots of neat info about the bird.

The link is here.

See you in mid-November, but  look for my latest Bird Watcher column in The Record and Herald-News next Thursday -- about the new Nature documentary on PBS, "Parrot Confidential," which airs Nov. 13!

Will post a link at some point.
