Black-necked Stilts by Vivek Khanzode

EARLY BIRDING AT EEC

On this short trip, we'll look for wintering shorebirds, ducks, and gulls in New Chicago Marsh and Salt Pond A16. The early light and close viewing often provides good photography opportunities. This is also an excellent trip for beginners, since shorebirds and ducks tend to be easily visible.
