This is an excellent experience for serious birders. There are many shorebirds to see on this trip, and many opportunities to view them up close. Best to go during migration season, but an enjoyable experience any time. The captain and naturalist on board are very well versed in birds and are skillful at locating them and picking them out. You will see oystercatchers, osprey, various terns, rails, etc. The terns breeding areas was particularly interesting. A nice relaxing way to spend a couple of hours.
