Focus: Ducks will be our objective with the hope for 15 duck species as well as other winter delights.
Itinerary: After the Jamaica Bay duck tally, we may lunch in the center if allowed or choose to eat at a place on Broad Channel. Afterwards we proceed walking to Big Egg Marsh over the Cross Bay bridge (depending on time) or by A train to Rockaway’s last stop at 116th Street for sea ducks. We can pick up the Q 35 bus homeward from 116th.
Notes: Expect a good amount of walking, approximately 5 miles; bring a scope if you have one.
Drivers may park at Jamaica Bay Visitor’s center but we will not be arranging car pools.
