Huge number of seagulls in the Nature Study Area in Raritan Bay Waterfront Park in South Amboy in New
Jersey, USA. I went to this waterfront park for hiking and bird watching on a sunny day with blue sky on
February 17, 2009. It was amazing to see so many seagulls here in the winter season.

In summer time, these two waterfront parks probably are very busy with many people. But in winter time on
February 17, 2009, I saw only a few visitors strolling leisurely on these waterfront hiking trail and board walk.
Thus, these two waterfront parks, a few miles apart, provide good opportunity for hiking exercise in one
afternoon in the winter with nice views of the Raritan Bay plus bird watching and photography.

More seagulls. However, the Nature Study Area is not reached by the paved hiking loop/trail. One has to walk
south on the beach for about half mile to reach the sand bar on the bay side and the marsh area on the Nature
Study Area to get close to these huge number of seagulls and Brandt.

In addition to the huge number of seagulls, there are also some Brant on the sand bar or on the Raritan Bay.
This picture shows several Brant with darker color taking off from the sand bar/beach at sunset time to fly to
their evening roosting, grassy area on the ball fields in this waterfront park.

On the same sunny afternoon of February 17, 2009 and before I came to Raritan Bay Waterfront Park, I also
did some hiking and bird watching along the long board walk at Old Bridge Waterfront Park which is also on the
Raritan Bay and is only a few miles south of Raritan Bay Waterfront Park as shown in the following pictures.
