Frank Budney and Tom Parlapiano of Friends of Lenape Park coordinated three teams of birders, who fanned out across various sections of the Park. They saw and/or heard 90 species of birds, including owls, woodpeckers, turkeys (and turkey vultures), ducks and the ever-present Canada goose. Among the species recorded were four that are threatened or endangered in New Jersey: Savannah Sparrow, Red-shouldered Hawk, Bobolink and Black-crowned Night Heron; the heron is the only one of these that nests in the Park.
