Audubon Society plans Feb. 7 bird walk

The Monmouth County Audubon Society will host a bird walk on Sandy Hook in northern Monmouth County at 10 a.m. Feb. 7. Interested participants should meet in the parking lot near the visitor center, which is closed. The parking lot is just north of the Sea Gulls’ Nest.

The trip, which is open to members and nonmembers of the Monmouth County Audubon Society, will be led by accomplished birders who are familiar with Sandy Hook and its birds.

Participation is free and advance registration is not required. Participants should dress appropriately for cold temperatures and windy conditions, which are common along the coast. Binoculars are essential and a field guide is helpful.
