Great Backyard Bird Count
Join a ranger in this nationwide citizen-science project to count the birds in our backyard for the GBBC. Hammocks Beach is a great location to see several bird species- from the ones that hide in the woods to those that swim our waters. We have a limited supply of binoculars and field guides to use; however you can bring your own if you have them!
Meet at the Visitor Center.
Face masks are to be worn whenever social distancing of a 6-foot separtation cannot be maintained.
