Walk Leader: Crystal Possehl, SoFo Nature Educator
In the winter it seems as if the natural world is asleep. Join Crystal on this one-mile walk through swamps, fields, woods, and near a pond to discover which animals are awake, how others sleep through the winter, and what some plants do to protect themselves from the cold. Bundle up and bring some sunflower seeds to feed to birds at the end of the walk; they appreciate the extra tweats! As...

At one time a great variety of waterfowl wintered on Long Island. Now, due to habitat loss, food scarcity, and the introduction of nonnative species of water birds, our wintering population of waterfowl is slowly diminishing. To assess this situation and record the number of overwintering waterfowl the New York State Ornithological Association...

Walk Leader: Hugh McGuinness
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...
