This is such a fantastic resource. I have yet to be disappointed in any wildlife refuge that I have visited and Bombay Hook is no exception. Kept as natural as possible, the area provides habitat for an abundance of wildlife. The wildlife drive offers a way to see these magnificent animals in their true habitat. Also, there are three observation towers that present a unique way to see and photograph the wildlife. A word of advice: you will need strong binoculars, a spotting scope or an extreme zoom on your camera to make the most of this. Bring snacks and beverages because you are going to want to spend all day here. Arrive by sunrise and stay until sunset and you will have almost limitless opportunities to photograph animals. In addition to the birds, I was lucky enough to see a red fox, whitetail deer, fiddler crabs, turtles and rabbit.
Such a beautiful refuge to spend the day with your whole family! My husband and I have now taken our about to be three year old son there a couple of times now and he gets such a kick watching all of the wildlife. There are observation towers as well as hiking trails along the main auto route to explore and it is very easy to pull off to the side of the road to take pictures. I highly recommend visiting the website before you go as it is very imfomative and they even provide a breakdown as to the wildlife you can see every month of the year. Please NOTE that during the summer months it is EXTREMELY buggy so please plan accordingly! Hope this helps!
Beauty abounds
This place is wonderful! If you've been to EB Forsythe Preserve in NJ, this is very similar with different birds. Saw eagles, geese, crested kingfisher and much more
This place was neat and I got to see some birds I've never seen. I would love the opportunity to go back when there aren't crazy flies who attack you as soon as you get out of the car. Update: went back now in the fall and it's amazing. Added new photos. Best time to visit so get out and enjoy the weather.
