Great Neck offers a variety of habitats in a concentrated area. This is a recipe for migrants, and the island’s position in the region –sandwiched between Crane Beach and Plum Island– is a great catchpoint for birds stopping over. Shorebirds and waders (tide-depending) gather in Plum Island Sound. Early songbird migrants drop into the woods by Clark Pond. There will be minimal driving; the majority of time will be spent at the best vantage points, with some moderate walking on even terrain.

BBC field trips are open to all participants. Unless otherwise stated, all trips are free to attend and do not need preregistration. You do not need to be a club member to attend, though we hope you will join. See the Field Trip FAQ for answers to general questions. Contact leaders for more details about specific trips.

We follow all policies of field trip location property owners and co-sponsoring organizations. These may include ongoing public health measures. Some participants may choose to wear a face mask for health purposes. We support their right to do so.

We hope to see you out birding soon!
