Ken Buchanan Park-gulls & raptors
Ken Buchanan Park-gulls & raptors
This park overlooks productive tidal marsh where ducks, gulls, and raptors congregate during the winter. Ken Buchanan Riverfront Park gives a great view of Sayreville Marsh and the Raritan River. The marshes may have raptors including Northern Harrier, Bald Eagle, and sometimes Rough-legged Hawk. The waters of the river are good for ducks and Great Cormorants. We'll spend a good amount of time sorting and sifting through the thousands of gulls that congregate here--most winters there are multiple Iceland and Glaucous Gulls present. Time permitting, we may caravan to nearby Raritan Bay Waterfront Park for more birding. Bring binoculars, spotting scope if you have one and dress warmly. There are no open restrooms at the park. Led by Jason Denesevich & Patrick Belardo. PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED COST: $20 Members, $25 Non-members REGISTER HERE

North Shore Ponds & Inlets
North Shore Ponds & Inlets
The inlets and ponds in this area can be great for a variety of winter birds including ducks, loons, gulls and maybe alcids. The "north shore" between Point Pleasant Beach and Belmar can make for great winter birding. We'll search the inlets, ponds, and oceanfront for a variety of ducks, loons, gulls, and more. In some years Razorbills or other rarer alcids may be present, and the tour can be good for "white-winged" gulls. Meet at the east end of Broadway in Point Pleasant Beach. Bring binoculars, spotting scope if you have one, and lunch. Dress warmly. This trip requires little walking. Led by Scott Barnes and Linda Mack.
