SANDY HOOK BIRDING DAY TRIP
September 23, 2023
Sandy Hook is that little “finger” at the northeast corner of New Jersey. This piece of land projects north nearly into the south bay of New York harbor. This orientation makes it a perfect spot to receive southbound birds (and western vagrants) in the fall and for this reason has earned a reputation as one of the best birding locations in the metropolitan area. Contact trip organizer Deb Weltsch (dweltsch13@gmail.com ) for meet up time and location. This will be a
carpooling field trip and registration will be limited so field party can move about easily while visiting the “hook”.
