© 2026 Eastern Long Island Audubon Society

Friday Morning Bird Walk, August 21, 2026
Cupsogue County Park
Meet at 8:00 am at the western end of the parking lot on Dune Road. Arriving before 8:30 am ensures we will not have to pay any admission fee, and with low tide being just after 10:00 am, we will have plenty of time to walk down to the bayside mud flats and look for migrating shorebirds, graceful terns, and who knows what else! This roughly 1.5 mile walk involves a fair amount of walking on both wet and dry sand, as well as potentially a shallow water crossing or two. As such, please bring suitable footwear such as beach shoes or waterproof boots (or leave your shoes somewhere dry and go barefoot, it is summer after all!). A spotting scope (if you have it) will aid in glimpsing distant birds, while water, snacks, and sun protection will help keep you comfortable. Please register with Brian Moldashel for this trip at Brian.moldashel@gmail.com.Monday Evening Program August 3 at 7 pm
Motus & the Science of
Tracking Bird Movements
Brian Moldashel
The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is a collaborative global network using automated radio telemetry to track small flying organisms, such as birds, bats, and insects. An initiative of Birds Canada, the program seeks to improve our understanding of the movement ecology of a wide range of species, answering questions related to how organisms move throughout the environment, what habitats they use, and much more. Join Eastern Long Island Audubon Society to learn more about how this fascinating program works, what scientists have already learned from the data collected by it, and how ELIAS is getting involved in the program right here on Long Island.”
No reservations needed, this is a free program, all are welcome, light refreshments.
This is a new location, while Quogue Wildlife Refuge renovates. Meetings are now at the Moriches Bay Recreation Facility at
313 Frowein Road, Center Moriches, NY. It is just west of
Center Moriches High School.
