Liked very much, did two trails, hardly found any birds. Able to practice Intentional Camera movement techniques.

I love Prime Hook! If I'm not walking at the beach, I'm at Prime Hook. Most of the trails are shortish, but it's easy enough to connect from on to another to another. There are places that are great for watching the sunrise, places that are remain very usable even if there's been a ton of rain, and places to get engulfed in the beautiful trees.
