October Sunset Seabird Safaris

Saturday, Oct. 2, 4-7 p.m. $100/person

SOLD OUT

DETAILS

Now on a cozy pontoon boat, trips depart from the West Ocean City Harbor to see nesting herons, egrets, pelicans, and Glossy Ibis, as well as migrating shorebirds and state-endangered Royal Terns and Black Skimmers. The three-hour evening tours begin with the northern bays behind Ocean City which include Skimmer Island and end in Chincoteague Bay behind Assateague with great looks at the full complement of wading birds at South Point Spoils. The boat returns to the harbor.

This is an in-boat-only tour. The boat does not enter the islands as this would greatly disturb the birds and jeopardize breeding success.

To schedule a personalized boat tour for six or less ($600 Fri-Sun. and $500, Mon.-Thurs.) contact Dave Wilson at (443) 523-2201 or email marshhawk67@gmail.com.
