SANDY HOOK: IT’S ALWAYS FOWL WEATHER

Those of us who are under the impression that the Sandy Hook peninsula doesn’t truly come alive until Memorial Day Weekend are guilty of overlooking the scores of literal “snowbirds” and other denizens who dig the park’s winter-weather wonders. This Saturday morning, February 21, the regional chapter of the American Littoral Society invites all-seasons strollers, hardy naturalists and cabin-fever sufferers to join their staff for a Winter Water Fowl and Sea Walk.

It’s one of many “off season” activities hosted by the nonprofit conservation group at its year-round home on the Hook, and it commences at 9 am from 18 Hartshorne Drive (aka Building 18) in the Fort Hancock area. Participants will proceed on foot to the estuaries and ponds where seals and seabirds are likely to make themselves seen.

Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars and comfortable walking shoes — and are invited to “warm up with snacks and toasty beverages” at Littoral Society HQ at the conclusion of the approximately two hour tour. Registration is $5 per person, and attendees can RSVP at (732)291-0055.

Remember: Nothing makes a Red Bank friend happier than to hear "I saw you on Red Bank Green!"
