Chincoteague NWR & the Delmarva Peninsula

Fantastic Atlantic Coast Birding
22 October 2010 - 25 October 2010, 4 days & 3 nights

This will be a short tour of memorable birding at a beautiful location. The tour will include three days at Chincoteague NWR, plus visits to Prime Hook, Ocean City, and Bombay Hook. There will be migrant warblers, shorebirds, waterfowl, and local specialties such as Brown-headed Nuthatch and American Oystercatcher. Rarities that we have found at this time of year include American White Pelican, Eurasian Wigeon, Lark Sparrow, and Dickcissel. The Chincoteague Ponies are always a big favorite, as are the massive flocks of Snow Geese that almost always contain one or two Ross's Geese. This will be a great weekend at a comfortable pace. Evening dining will offer seafood fare for which Chincoteague's restaurants are famous. Bob Schutsky is the scheduled leader.

Price: $1095.00 from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Chincoteague NWR & the Delmarva Peninsula

The Atlantic Coast of DE, MD & VA at its Finest
26 December 2010 - 31 December 2010, 6 days & 5 nights

The Delmarva Peninsula provides excellent birding in early winter. We will visit Virginia Beach, Fort Story, Kiptopeke State Park, Ocean City, and spend a full day at Chincoteague NWR, where we will see Wild Ponies and many great birds. Scoping along the coast is likely to produce a nice variety of seabirds, shorebirds, Purple Sandpiper, and perhaps a vagrant or two. Good numbers of waterfowl are expected, including Harlequin Duck, Common Eider, Long-tailed Duck, and Canvasback. Unusual gulls found on previous tours include Glaucous, Little, Black-headed, and a Black-legged Kittiwake--perched ten feet away! We should also see American Woodcock, Brown Pelican, Bald Eagle, Marbled Godwit, Great Cormorant, and Brown-headed Nuthatch. There may be a hummingbird or two, such as Rufous, Calliope, or other western vagrant. John Puschock is the scheduled tour leader.
