The tours run from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. every Friday through September and are open to the public. Audubon staff leads participants on a guided walk along the protected sanctuary that serves as habitat for beach-nesting birds including Least Tern, Black Skimmer, American Oystercatcher, Wilson’s Plover and other unique and interesting coastal birds.
