Our pinniped friends are back in town! Join the American Littoral Society for winter walks on Sandy Hook, NJ, starting in January, to learn about harbor seals and our local winter waterfowl. Participants will explore coastal habitats, spot species such as harbor seals, gannets, mergansers, and cormorants, and learn about their behaviors and identifying features.
What to Bring: Dress for the weather and Sandy Hook’s ever-present wind –hats, gloves, layers, and binoculars recommended.
