A look at #VanBuskirkIsland in #Oradell, where #BergenCounty history and #NewJerseyBirding come together. The Hackensack Water Company’s New Milford Plant operated here from 1882 - 1990. Today, the #HackensackRiver and surrounding habitat support remarkable #biodiversity @bergencounty.bsky.social

An evening on the #HackensackRiver with #BCAS and #NJSEA. We spotted 24 #bird species while cruising through the #Meadowlands, surrounded by marsh, bridges, and the #NYC skyline. So much life exists here, right in the shadow of one of the world’s biggest cities. @aba.org @abcbirds.bsky.social

#Ospreys are sending a warning. 2026 research found reproductive problems from the Chesapeake through #NewJersey, #LongIsland and New England. Coastal ospreys averaged just 0.59 young per pair. Food stress and scarce #Menhaden (bunker) are major concerns @aba.org @abcbirds.bsky.social @nature.org

A little sunset science from tonight: a brewing Nor’easter helped load the atmosphere with moisture and clouds, creating these intense pink, orange and red tones as the sun dropped. 🌅 Storms can make spectacular sunsets. #Sunset #NorEaster #NaturePhotography #SkyPhotography #JamesFalletti
