The Islands of Moriches Inlet

Trip Leader: John McNeil

This trip is always a big hit with our members; let’s catch the wave of shorebirds as they pass our area on their migration along the south shore of Long Island. Low tide is at 7:15 am at Moriches Inlet.This means we will have an incoming tide for the morning, bringing the birds closer to our view. Let’s meet at the parking lot of Cupsoque Beach County Park at 7 am, before they start collecting tolls for parking and spend the morning birding the islands off the inlet. Be prepared to get wet.We will be wading across to the islands.Wear appropriate footwear, bathing suits and/or shorts that can get wet.On the way back it will probably be waist deep. For details, contact your trip leader John McNeil at 631.281.2623 at home.On the day of the field trip call my mobile telephone at 631.219.8947.
