Don’t miss out. This trip fills up quickly!

Trip leader: Jim Swift

We are fortunate to have access to sections of the navy base fronting on the confluence of the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay, which hosts airfields that provide tundra-like habitat. Previous trips have turned up winter birds such as Snow Bunting, Lapland Longspurs, Short-eared Owls, Horned Larks, Savannah Sparrows, Wilson’s Snipe, and Peregrine Falcon. Preregistration is required and open to U.S. citizens only. Must bring photo I.D. Meet at Gate 2, pass office parking lot. We will be escorted and traveling together in a van; participant size is limited. No restrooms. RSVP to Jim at james.r.swift4.civ@us.navy.mil
