Airplanes aren’t the only air traffic crowding the skies over Newark; more than 100 species of nature’s frequent fliers also wing it overhead. Dr. Claus Holzapfel, an ecologist with the Department of Biological Sciences, is once again leading free bird walks at Rutgers University in Newark this May. His mission: to seek out the more than 100 species of wild birds who call Newark their transient home, perhaps even rare ones, “such as the red-tailed hawk, a large raptor which hunts our local squirrels and pigeons,” according to Holzapfel. The professor will lead the campus walks every Wednesday morning in May, beginning May 5, from 7:45 a.m. – 8:15 a.m., through May 26.
