Upcoming Field Trip
Cupsogue County Park
975 Dune Road, Westhampton, New York 11978
Meet at 8 am, Monday, August 18
Meet at the western (opposite from the entrance) side of the parking lot at the gate to the outer beach. Arrive before 8am to avoid the Suffolk County Park fee. Cupsogue is a barrier beach park. On the bay side, it attracts migrating shorebirds at this time of year. Possible species include Salt Marsh Sparrow, Clapper Rail, Marbled Godwit, various sandpipers, yellowlegs, willets, egrets, herons, plovers, terns and others. We’ll walk along a sandy, pine-lined road, then down to the saltwater marsh and out onto the mudflats. The walk is timed for approximate low tide, but we’ll be getting our feet wet, please dress accordingly. This may include water shoes which drain water well and protect feet from shellfish that might be stepped on. Insect repellant is also recommended. Distance walked will be a little over a mile. Please register with Tom Moran at tjmoran101@gmail.com.
