Join Soheil Zendeh and Dorie Stolley for a taste of
Long Beach's autumnal birds and beauty.  This three-mile long barrier spit
is a hotspot for birds due to its location, natural areas and low
disturbance levels. We might see yellowlegs, sanderling, dunlin,
black-bellied plover, snow bunting, horned lark Northern gannet, brant,
surf, black and white-winged scoter, red-throated and common loon, common
eider, long-tailed duck, peregrine falcon, merlin, northern harrier and much
more.

Participants will meet at the Long Beach parking lot and carpool out to the
Goldenrod field station, stopping along the way for views of sea ducks. From
the field station, we will walk two and a half miles on the wilder northern
half of the spit in search of birds. We will return to the parking lot by
noon.

Bring binoculars, water and lunch or a substantial snack. Dress in layers.
It can be cold and windy on the beach, so bring a lot more clothing than you
think you will need, including rain pants or something similar to block the
wind. Hats and gloves are recommended. Bring a spotting scope if you like;
we will have two to share.
