Early spring can be a good time to see a diversity of ducks, loons, and grebes at this easily accessible park. This is also a good place for many species of gulls, especially Bonaparte's Gulls that sometimes contain rarer species. We might luck into some raptors including Bald Eagle, Peregrine, and more. Be prepared for 3+ hours of easy walking and standing. Restrooms on site. Led by Scott Barnes and Hank Burk.
WEATHER & TRANSPORTATION: Please arrive at the appointed time. Be sure to check the forecast in advance and dress in layers appropriate for prevailing weather conditions. We sometimes bird in the rain, so bring rain gear if warranted. Transportation during the field trip is by private vehicle (be sure you have enough gas). Most trips involve some amount of walking, sometimes through muddy or sandy terrain.
CANCELLATION: CMBO /NJA programs require a minimum number of registrants to run, five days in advance of the start of the tour but are seldom cancelled. If we do cancel, due to lack of participation, severe weather, or unforeseen circumstances, we notify all participants in advance, and all are eligible for a full credit or refund. Participants may cancel without penalty if greater than 30 days in advance. Cancellations 10 to 30 days in advance may be subject to a 25% service charge. No refunds or credits for cancellations less than ten days in advance unless due to health emergencies.
