Hamilton Wetlands
Sunday, October 26, 2025, 10am – 2pm
What was once part of an Air Force base, the Hamilton airfield is now an expansive network of tidally influenced wetlands and ponds. This recently restored area has become a magnet for shorebirds and waterfowl. We’ll go for a slow walk along the level fire road that skirts the wetlands as we discuss identification and life histories of the birds we see. This is a flat, well-maintained dirt road. Total miles: 2.5. There is little elevation change. Remember to bring lunch, and binoculars if you have them. No pets are allowed, except for service/companion animals. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel. Registration is required.
Questions: Contact Shannon Burke
