(“LSP Big Day”, “cedar waxwing”) Bill Lynch.

 New Jersey Conservation Foundation will team up with the Feminist Bird Club of Jersey City, Liberty State Park, and Jersey City Birds for a “Big Day of Birding” at Liberty State Park on Saturday, May 17. The free event includes bird walks at 6 and 9 a.m., and is appropriate for both novice and experienced birders.

 “We will attempt to identify as many species of birds as we can while enjoying good company and the beauty of this urban gem,” said Bill Lynch, New Jersey Conservation’s director of engagement and communications, co-leading the event. “No experience is necessary, and we will bring a scope and extra binoculars for participants to borrow.”
