Hudson River Audubon Society Field Trip

    Dress appropriately for the weather. The beach is usually much windier than here at home - so if it’s cold, buddle-up! But, we could luck out with a warm day and there’s nothing like enjoying some winter sun during a stroll on the beach.

    Bring lunch; we will stop at a deli for sandwiches for those brave souls who want to continue into the afternoon.
