Kingston Point/River Rd
March 13, 2016 @ 4:00 am - 8:00 am
Mid-March in Ulster County is the best time of year to see the greatest diversity of waterfowl on the Hudson River. We will start our tour at Kingston Point Beach and work our way south, stopping at Freer Park in Port Ewen and checking points along River Road in the Town of Esopus and finishing at Esopus Meadows. Meet trip leader Mark DeDea (forsythnature@aol.com 339-1277) at the Kingston Point Beach parking lot (53 Delaware Avenue) at 8:00 a.m. The field party will scan the river north and walk the park to view the lagoon and the area around the mouth of the Rondout Creek. We will then carpool to destinations south along the river returning to the beach parking lot at the end of our trip.
