Ducks don’t mind the cold weather. Be more like a duck. Don your downiest coat and channel that duck resilience on this cruise to find wintering waterfowl on the Patuxent River. We will be on the lookout for bufflehead, canvasback, ruddy duck, greater and lesser scaup, common goldeneye, ring-necked duck, wood duck, American wigeon, black duck, common loon, American coot, dunlin, and horned lark.
Alex Pellegrini, one of our favorite naturalists at Patuxent River Park, will captain us on the park’s research pontoon boat. This special opportunity is only open to nine participants, with NHSM members having first access to registration through Thursday, Dec. 18. Registration will be open to everyone starting Dec. 19.
