Bird Watching at Smith Point Beach

Join us on a bird watch and nature walk at Smith Point Beach with Byron Young. We'll learn about and watch for water fowl and oceanic birds of coastal Long Island. We will walk along the boardwalk, though the scrub path and across the parking lot to the bay side and back. Weather permitting.
