DESCRIPTION:Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM\n\nJoin Program Coordinator Adehl Sch
 waderer and CMBO naturalists Kathy & Roger Horn on a search for wintering
  waterfowl from Avalon to Cape May! February is a wonderful time of year 
 to seek out various species of waterfowl\, as lingering winterers are joi
 ned by northbound migrants. We will travel through coastal and inland are
 as of Cape May County to find and enjoy a wide range of species\, includi
 ng scoters\, mergansers\, eiders\, and many other ducks\, plus a great ar
 ray of shorebirds\, cormorants\, grebes. At each stop\, we will take time
  to study various identification clues: plumage\, size & shape\, flight c
 haracteristics\, and behavior to help improve your bird identification sk
 ills. This birding break has something to offer birders of all skill and 
 experience levels.\n\nWe do not set a firm daily schedule in advance\, le
 aving us flexible to maximize birding opportunities\, taking advantage of
  weather conditions\, tides\, and recent bird sightings. We may walk up t
 o 1.5 miles\, over generally level\, sometimes muddy or sandy terrain. So
 me trips involve walks over jetties.\n\nPREREGISTRATION REQUIRED – Ticket
