New Jersey Trip
Travel to premiere East Coast birding locations for the peak of spring migration!
Each May Spring Field Ornithology students take a bus trip to the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville, NJ for a 2-day birding extravaganza! We also travel to the Cape May area to view shorebirds and visit several other NJ birding hotspots. Each year this trip fills up fast (often by the first day of the class) so be sure to reserve your place early! Registrations for this trip are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis starting December 15th.
