Identify shorebirds with Audubon instructor Marc Ribaudo, 16 August
Join instructor Marc Ribaudo for an evening class and accompanying field trip that will cover identifying shorebirds. The class is recommended for anyone who would like to tackle shorebird identification on their own.
The group will spend an evening in the classroom covering identification tips for shorebirds that can typically be seen in our region. Emphasis will be on shorebirds that pose the biggest identification challenges, such as peeps.
On the Saturday following the class, the group will visit Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware to put into practice what they’ve learned in class. Bombay Hook is one of the top shorebird spots in the northeast and provides ample opportunities to view many species of shorebird in close proximity to each other. The group may also visit Port Mahon or Taylor’sDitch, depending on tide and what is being seen at the time.
