BCAS Butterfly Walk at Wayawanda State Park

August 19, 2026
A Bergen County Audubon Society butterfly walk field trip to Wayawanda State Park, in Hewitt NJ.
The weather was great but the butterflies were scarce to nonexistent, and if they were seen flying they never paused to be photographed making identification difficult. Some photos of a nice day getting outside follow.
