Description: Join Joy Cirigliano and Four Harbors Audubon as we explore this 187-acre peninsula on Noyack and Little Peconic Bays. Morton consists of upland forest, fields, ponds, salt marsh, beach and a lagoon. We expect to see a variety of wildlife including white-tailed deer, wild turkey, painted turtles, green frogs, songbirds and raptors. We will also be looking for warblers passing through during migration, and returning resident birds. This is the one refuge where you are welcome to feed the birds. Bring bird seed and watch as chickadees, nuthatches, etc., feed from your hand.
