SUMMARY:Birding on the Barrier Islands
LOCATION:Stone Harbor Point – 2nd Ave Parking Lot
DESCRIPTION:Time: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM\n\nJoin Chris Marks\, Dave & Lynn Poll
 ard and CMBO Naturalists\, as we explore some of the iconic barrier islan
 ds in Cape May County! These long and narrow land strips are teeming with
  a variety of birds. For this trip\, we’ll spend the majority of our time
  on Seven-Mile Island\, home to the boroughs of Stone Harbor and Avalon a
 s well as amazing ocean views\, dunes\, and marshes. As we walk the beach
  at Stone Harbor Point\, we’ll look for wintering shorebirds\, gulls\, an
 d sparrows. The Avalon jetty is a great spot to try for winter goodies su
 ch as Great Cormorant and Purple Sandpiper as well as migrating scoters\,
  loons\, and other waterfowl. We may also try for salty sparrows such as 
 Nelson’s and Saltmarsh Sparrow on Nummy Island.\n\nWe do not set a firm d
 aily schedule in advance\, leaving us flexible to maximize birding opport
 unities\, taking advantage of weather conditions\, tides\, and recent bir
 d sightings. We will walk up to 2 miles on sand and boardwalk. Transporta
 tion to each site is by private vehicle.\n\nPREREGISTRATION REQUIRED – Ti
 cket sales end 24hrs before start of program\n\nCOST: $20 members\, $25 n

 ce and dress in layers appropriate for prevailing weather conditions. The
  weather in Cape May 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.\n\nTRANSP
 ORTATION: Please arrive at the appointed time with a full tank of gas\, a
 s transportation to field sites is by private vehicles.  We may walk up t
