Nightfall along the Tuckahoe River

If you're feeling a little cooped up, take a Sunday evening drive up to the Tuckahoe Wildlife Management area for an evening walk through beautiful marshland. Many birds call the marshes along the Tuckahoe river and Great Egg Harbor river home - at least for the winter. Look for birds like Northern Harriers, Short-eared owls and Bald Eagles. You don't have to know a thing about birding - the naturalists from the Cape May Bird Observatory will lead the way. The walk starts at 5PM. Meet on Griscom Mill Rd, off route 50 north of Tuckahoe at the parking lot at Corbin City Hall. Cost is $6 members, $10 for non-members.
