We have confirmed Jun 12 as the date for this trip, with a rain date of June 13.

SOBG has permission to bring members onto the Lakehurst NAES base, where we hope to see breeding birds that can be difficult to find elsewhere in NJ. Our main targets are Upland Sandpiper, Grasshopper Sparrow, Eastern Meadowlark, Common Nighthawk, Horned Lark. Due to base restrictions, participation is limited to the first 20 SOBG members who sign up by contacting Jeanine at Jga-2@comcast.net. Participants will be contacted by e-mail with trip details. If you’ve never heard Upland Sandpipers displaying and calling each other, this is a trip that you won’t want to miss!

We meet at Cathedral of the Air (2494 S Hope Chapel Rd, Manchester Township, NJ 08759) parking lot at 7:45 AM and need to enter the base as a group; the trip starts PROMPTLY at 8 AM.
