My Column: State Line Hawk Watch
A view of State Line Lookout and the Hudson River beyond in Alpine. By Jim WrightSpecial to The Record |…
My latest column for The Record is all about birding at the New Jersey Botanical Garden in Ringwood.
Beautiful gardens, great natural areas, terrific birds and great walks and hikes, all on 1,100 acres.
Old-stylel statues and a manor house, too.
And if you like butterflies — try the free butterfly festival this Sunday …
Cool birds I've seen there in the past month include Indigo Bunting, Eastern Bluebird, Ruby-throated Hummingbird and Common Raven.
