Some common sense approaches to make your winter birding trips more enjoyable:

• Wear appropriate clothing and shoes for winter weather near the ocean! Boots are preferred on trips that include hiking.
• Carry sunscreen, sunglasses and/or a hat to protect yourself from the sun. You can still get sunburn in the winter.
• Bring rain gear as all events are rain or shine.
• Try to arrive a little before the scheduled trip departs.
• For boat trips: If you are prone to seasickness, you may want to consider Dramamine or Bonine (both are sold over-the-counter), or whatever natural preventative you prefer. Please don’t wait until you’re on the boat to take your medication. Follow the instructions to make sure you have a great experience birding on the Delaware Bay.
• Most trips are not appropriate for young children. Please use your discretion when registering.
• Be courteous to your fellow birders. Speak quietly and turn off cell phones during trips.
• Vegetarians & guests with seafood allergies must make their restrictions known for trips that include lunch.
• Restroom facilities are available on most field trips, but not all.
