From just south of Manasquan Inlet to Long Branch there are a number of ponds such as Takanassee, Deal, Wreck, Spring and Como that are worth checking for ducks and waterfowl. This ‘pond hopping’ makes for a pleasant outing! Take time to scan the ocean and jetties along this stretch.

Another of our areas major wintering grounds for 40,000 Snow Geese and 5000 Tundra Swans, and a good location to see Bald Eagles
