Take a spin around the auto loop of Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge to see a diverse array of shorebirds and waders.

We will make stops at Raymond, Shearness, and Bear Swamp Pools to see how many species we can find gorging themselves on the mudflats as they prepare for migration.

Contact Declan at [email protected] if you have any questions about this trip.

Refuge fees are in effect – $4 per car, or free entry with a 2025-2026 season duck stamp (or other special passes). 
More information on Bombay Hook NWR is available at https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Bombay_Hook/

We will meet in the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge Visitor’s Center parking lot.
