Late afternoon/evening was a perfect time for the trip. Our captain timed it perfectly to see many birds coming in to roost for the night. Both he and the naturalist were great at spotting secretive birds. It was neat to see them still genuinely excited to spot birds. One might think it would be a ho hum experience after making 2 or 3 trips per day all summer.
Very knowledgeable about birds, flora, fauna and the Jersey shore in general.
