Nature Done Wright

My latest column in The Record and Herald-News is about the local Monk Parakeet colonies, the recent problems they have been involved with, and possible solutions.

Here's a sample:

"Although these beautiful birds have developed a loyal following over the years — and established other colonies in Ridgefield and Leonia — they can create big headaches. They have a terrible tendency to build
their huge stick nests atop utility poles, creating all sorts of costly
problems.

"The encouraging news is that just as the birds have
adapted to North Jersey, perhaps — just perhaps — we may be learning how
to adapt to them."
