Celery Farm and Beyond: My Next High Mountain Talk is March 9 for the Montclair Bird Club

Ridgefield Park Bald Eagle Update

Today Is National Vulture Day!

My Next High Mountain Talk is March 9 for the Montclair Bird Club

March 01, 2016

Save the date: I will be presenting my High Mountain talk and slide show for the Montclair Bird Club on Wednesday, March 9.

The High Mountain Park Preserve is one of the great spots to hike and enjoy nature in North Jersey's backyard. The 1,260-acre preserve, located in nearby Passaic County, offers great views to the east as well as 11.5 miles of hiking trails -- with a few birds to enjoy along the way.

The 40-minute talk will include recent nature shots, aerial photography and archival images. (The photo above was taken for The Nature Conservancy last October with the help of LightHawk.)

The talk, open to the public, begins right after the 7:30 p.m. business meeting of the Montclair Bird Club, Union Congregational Church, 176 Cooper Ave., Upper Montclair. www.montclairbirdclub.org.
