This event has been canceled due to forecasted rain and high wind. Led by Adehl Schwaderer & CMBO Naturalists Are you a youth birder who’s looking for an opportunity to see breeding birds up close? Join NJ Audubon Staff and Volunteers to search for a variety of spring migrants that call Belleplain State Park home for the breeding season. While we are tracking down thrushes, vireos, warblers, and tanagers, the leaders will share helpful tips for how to identify these birds by sight and sound. Possible highlights include Summer Tanager, Hooded Warbler, Acadian Flycatcher, Louisiana Waterthrush, and Prothonotary Warbler. We do not set a firm daily schedule in advance, leaving us flexible to maximize birding opportunities, taking advantage of weather conditions, tides, and recent bird sightings. We may walk up to 1.5 miles, over generally level, sometimes muddy or sandy terrain. Recommended age for field trip: 8 years old and up. Parents or guardians are required to accompany their children during this program at no additional charge. When registering, please use the youth birders name. PREREGISTRATION REQUIRED - Registration ends 24hrs before start of program COST: FREE Interested in becoming a member? Please click on the following link to learn more or join: Become a Member today! IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We bird in all weather. Be sure to check the forecast in advance and dress in layers appropriate for prevailing weather conditions. The weather can differ considerably from nearby inland areas and may be warmer, colder, or windier so it’s best to be over prepared. We may have to bird in the rain, so please bring your rain gear. TRANSPORTATION: Please arrive at the appointed time with a full tank of gas, as transportation to field sites is by private vehicles. We may walk up to 1.5 miles, over generally level, sometimes muddy or sandy terrain. Some trips involve walks over jetties. CANCELLATION: CMBO 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 REGISTER HERE |
