Wildlife Viewing- Morton Refuge is an ideal spot for wildlife watching while hiking the Wild Birds Nature Trail and along the beach at low tide (hard packed sand). Wildlife have become acclimated to visitors and often go about their day without a second glance. Eastern wild turkeys, songbirds and chipmunks all can be seen along the wooded sections of the trail. Osprey can be seen flying overhead hunting for fish in the bay. In the winter, large groups of black ducks, bufflehead and common goldeneye can be seen floating in the bay. An elevated platform at the beach allows visitors an outstanding view of Little Peconic Bay, Noyack Bay and Jessup’s Neck Peninsula’s wildlife species. GPS: 2595 Noyack Road, Sag Harbor, NY 11963. Heavy rain cancels, light rain does not. Optional lunch afterwards. Carpool available from Sayville.
