Editing BCAS March Nature Walk (section)

=== Highlights of the Walk ===
The walk offers attendees the chance to explore the '''Teaneck Creek Conservancy''', a 46-acre urban oasis nestled within [[Teaneck]], [[New Jersey]]. The Conservancy is known for its diverse ecosystems, including wetlands, forests, and meadows, making it a rich habitat for birds and other wildlife. Participants on the BCAS March Nature Walk typically observe a variety of bird species, particularly as the region is an important stop along the '''Atlantic Flyway''', a major migratory route for birds.

'''Birdwatching''' is one of the main attractions during the walk. The event often features sightings of '''wintering birds''' that are still present, such as '''woodpeckers''', '''sparrows''', and '''nuthatches''', as well as '''early spring migrants''', including species like '''red-tailed hawks''', '''blackbirds''', and even '''waterfowl''' along the streams and wetlands. Participants are often encouraged to identify birds by their calls, plumage, and behavior, making it a fun learning experience for both seasoned birdwatchers and beginners.

The walk typically also showcases a range of '''plant species''', with naturalists pointing out early spring wildflowers, budding trees, and important native plants. Early blooms such as '''skunk cabbage''', '''marsh marigolds''', and '''violets''' often make an appearance, marking the transition from winter to spring.
