Fall Migration Walk (9 AM): Thanks to an expected migratory push of birds along the east coast tonight, we can expect yellow-rumped warblers, golden-crowed kinglets, white-throated-sparrows, and many others to be foraging tomorrow morning after a long night's journey. Hawks and eagles have also been observed taking flight in the mornings from Zega-Lockatong to start their daytime journeys.![]()

Fall Foliage Walk (11 AM): Zega-Lockatong Preserve's canopy is aglow with golden sugar maple, tulip poplar, and sycamore trees, with a colorful understory of red and purple dogwood and ironwood. Discover why these species appear so differently in fall, and why trees have this incredible spectacle of color at this time of year. The wonder of fall lies in the ecological strategies and chemical complexity in each individual tree. ![]()
