The free event includes bird walks at 6 and 9 a.m., and is appropriate for both novice and experienced birders.

“We will attempt to identify as many species of birds as we can while having an absolute blast along the way,” said Bill Lynch, New Jersey Conservation’s director of engagement and communications, who is leading the event. “No

experience is necessary, and we will bring a scope and extra binoculars for participants to borrow.”

Early risers will begin the day at 6 a.m. by following the Waterfront Walk around Caven Point to look for migrating warblers and shorebirds. The route is roughly two miles, with a flat and paved surface. Those who wish to sleep later will meet at 9 a.m. and bird their way

Last year’s Big Day at Liberty State Park drew more than 50 participants, who together counted 78 bird species. “We had so much fun at last year’s Big Day that we decided to do it again,” said Lynch. “We’re looking forward to spotting as many birds as we can, and introducing new participants to birding.” and advocate for sensible land use and climate policies that will protect the health of New Jersey communities for generations to come.

by Dave Osmundsen directed by Mack Brown

In a seaside town called Crichton-by-the-Sea, a young Autistic woman becomes a tour guide for a local ghost tour company.

Bizarro World by Marcus Scott directed by Martavius Parrish

A clique of young entrepreneurial computer programmers—all diversity hires at a Big Tech company in Silicon Valley—decide to strike out on their own by creating an innovative, one-of-kind simulated reality affinity space that comes complete with a truly revolutionary and singular artificial intelligence–powered virtual assistant. When a power grab commences and power players try getting ahold of the algorithm that will launch the group into the upper echelon of the tech world, they make a last-minute addition before launching. There’s just one thing they weren’t counting on and now all hell is about to break loose.

Part office comedy, part sci-fi techno-thriller, Bizarro World explores machine learning, unlearning, the dualities of justice and injustice, equity and equality, visibility and representation, surveillance and over-policing in the digital age.
