Bird Walk Scheduled At Jamaica Bay

The Linnaean Society of New York has scheduled a half-day birding field trip at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Broad Channel on Saturday, August 29. The walk is expected to finish in the early afternoon and may include the East Pond, where some terrain may be slippery. Mud boots are recommended, and participants should prepare for mosquitoes. The exact meeting place and start time are provided after registration is confirmed, but the trip is currently full, so residents cannot register unless space becomes available. The refuge is on Cross Bay Boulevard in Broad Channel.
