Sunday, Nov. 22 Trips & Reservations – Delmarva Birding Weekends

MORNING FIELD TRIPS

Sinepuxent Bay Birds & South Point Ponds (DRIVING/HIKING)
8:00 – 11:00 am
Cost: $25/peron
MEETING LOCATION: Assateague Island National Seashore Visitor Center

Locals know where to see the best variety of ducks, shorebirds, and raptors. So it is local birders who will guide this secret sojourn to four of the best winter birding spots along the area known as South Point. We’ll meet at the Assateague Island National Seashore Visitor Center and stroll to the top of the Verrazano Bridge to look for Brant and other waterfowl while taking in the spectacular view of the unspoiled Sinepuxent Bay. From there we’ll caravan to the Rum Pointe Golf Course to survey the duck-filled ponds for every manner of waterfowl. Then, the trip takes a unique turn as we drive a short distance north to Por Fin Drive, known for its iconic locust trees that grace the gateway to the National Seashore near the Assateague Market. Here, waterfowl enjoy two restored ponds nestled in 130 acres of woods and farmland. The trip ends just north of here at Bayside where we’ll look for Redheads, Ring-necked Ducks, and Scaup.
