Event notes: The East pond is the primary birding location before the late high tide. Most of the West Pond trail will be closed due to landscape replanting/reconstruction. Prepare for a long day under potentially hot sun. Bring lunch and plenty of water; waterproof boots are mandatory.
Participants can use public transportation or drivers are free to take their own cars with their family or “birding pod.”
Due to COVID, the BBC will not be arranging car pools.
