NJ AUDUBON BIRDING FIELD TRIP- Hatfield Swamp Birding Meander
SUMMER 2023 URBAN OASIS FIELD TRIPS
Led by Dave Hall, Associate Naturalist
Field trips are designed for ages 12 and up. Have you ever wanted to “bird watch” but
didn’t know where to begin? Would you like to find some of the hidden gems in Essex
County? Let New Jersey Audubon be your guide. Summer is the time to see, hear and learn
about the species of birds that nest in Essex County. Walks encourage beginners and
challenge experts. The trips also offer a chance to learn the territorial songs and behavior of birds that are
residents all year long. This is a wonderful time of year to visit the Essex County Parks System. Registrants will
receive a confirmation call/e-mail in the event of a cancellation. Pre-registration is required. Payment may be
made via credit card. Walk-ins are not permitted. To register, please call 908-396-6386 or visit
