In the winter it seems as if the natural world is asleep.

Shinnecock is a highly productive birding site in winter. Join expert birder Hugh McGuinness on this walk to see loons, rare gulls, and winter raptors. There is a good chance you’ll see the illusive American Bittern which, if it senses that it has been seen, becomes motionless, with its bill pointed upward, causing it to blend into the reeds.
Reservations are required for all walks, workshops, and...
