Birds and Ducks on the Move Thru Ridgewood Reservoir and Jamaica Bay Refuge

Leader: Steve Nanz

Participant limit: 16 (members and drivers get priority.)

Focus: A return to the landmark conservation site at Ridgewood Reservoir, followed by a short 20-minute drive to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, sets the stage for what promises to be a productive day for waterfowl. With birds and ducks in the early stirrings of migration, the moment offers strong opportunities to capture dynamic behavior and flocks moving across waterways and ponds.

Registrar: Heidi Steiner-Nanz email heidi.steiner.bklyn@gmail.com

Carpool Fee: $10.00

Registration Period: February 22nd-February 26th

Notes: Bring good walking or winter shoes, and a scope if you have one (helpful but not essential). The group will do some walking, perhaps 3 -4 miles over mostly flat terrain over the course of the day. We expect the trip to complete around mid-afternoon. Bring lunch and dress warmly for winter weather.
