The Rutgers EcoPreserve provides wonderful opportunities for watching a variety of bird species no matter the season.  Several years ago, undergraduate student Liam Fleisher established a bird feeding station near the Avenue E Roundabout EcoPreserve trailhead kiosk to provide visitors the opportunity to observe birds at a close distance. After going quiet for a year, the bird feeding station is (is or soon will be) back in business. Jade Tollis along with a team of Undergraduate students and the Rutgers University Birding Association are collaborating on a Scarlet Wellness Grant to promote building community through bird watching. The objectives include renovating and maintaining the bird feeding station, enhancing the nearby habitat for a variety of birds and to host bird watching walks for the Rutgers community. Check the EcoPreserve website calendar for the dates/times of birding walks.
