Meeting time will be provided at the end of registration period. Current club members and drivers will receive priority. Each person must register individually; you may not register additional participants.
Notes: The East pond will be the primary birding location before afternoon high tide, as there is no morning high tide in early August. Prepare for a long day under potentially hot sun. Bring mandatory waterproof boots, lunch, sunhat, insect repellent and plenty of water.
East pond in early August may have high water (no exposed mudflat) if summer is unusually stormy: be prepared.
