Description
Go birdwatching in one of the best year-round bird migration areas in the country. Starting early in the day when many birds are most active and easier to see, explore the various habitats on the refuge including salt marsh, coastal thicket, and maritime forest. An expert guide will focus on field identification and bird behavior.
Open to birdwatchers of all experience levels, this relaxed morning walk is as welcoming to someone picking up binoculars for the first time as it is to a seasoned birder looking to sharpen their identification skills.
