Beschreibung

Crown Marsh at Long Point is a premier birding destination, offering diverse wetland habitats, including cattail marshes, open water, and mudflats. The area is a crucial stopover for migratory birds along the Atlantic Flyway, making it a hotspot for birdwatchers year-round.

In spring and fall, you can spot thousands of waterfowl, including Tundra Swan, Northern Pintail, and Green-winged Teal. Summer brings marsh birds like Black Tern and Least Bittern, while winter offers sightings of Bald Eagle and Northern Harrier.

What makes Crown Marsh special is its vast, unspoiled wetlands, scenic views, and exceptional opportunities to observe both rare and abundant bird species in a tranquil natural setting.
