Experience the beauty of the islands of the eastern shore while birding in this unique location that has become a renowned destination for birders. We will go birding at several hot spots on the Eastern Shore. Not only will we explore the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge's back country on Assateague Island, we will also visit Wallops Island to view the shore birds of a pristine beach and take a boat trip to bird in the marshes and tidal creeks surrounding Chincoteague.
Cost: $125/participant (includes instruction, boat trip, meals and lodging)
