We’re sorry, this field trip is canceled due to concerns around COVID-19.
However, we will post resources soon for you to recreate this trip on your own! Stay tuned.
With marsh and pond habitats and frequently good mud flats, this is an interesting and overlooked birding spot to search for shorebirds, herons, cranes, terns, swallows, and waterfowl.
