Birdwatching at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge
Details
Let’s explore one of the nation’s largest bird habitats! More than 300 species of birds have been observed here over the last 25 years. The refuge covers 9,000 acres of open bay, saltmarsh, mudflats, upland field and woods, as well as two man-made brackish ponds. There will be plenty to see, even in the fall and winter! We will conclude the trip by going to the Howard Beach area for slice pizza.
Admission is free, no tickets are required!
IMPORTANT – Although the visitor center is easily accessible by bus and subway, please give yourself extra time to arrive punctually, given the remote location and weekend engineering works!
