Wednesday Morning Birding

We are in our sixteenth year of Wednesday Morning Birding! These very popular programs provide an excellent opportunity to explore one of the most productive birding areas in the country. To date, we have seen over 310 species of birds on these Wednesday field trips. Throughout the year, we will conduct our field trips to birding hot spots in the Newburyport/Plum Island area. The focus for our programs will be the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge (Plum Island), the Merrimack River estuary, and… Show more other productive areas in Essex County. In this season, we expect to see a large number of shorebirds, egrets and herons, waterfowl, and migrating songbirds. When appropriate, we will adjust our itinerary to search for rarities reported in the area. We will depart from our normal routine and bird on Cape Ann on the following Wednesdays: November 16, December 14, January 18, February 15, and March 14. We will meet in Gloucester at the Friendly's restaurant at the first traffic circle on Route 128 for our Cape Ann trips. This program is ideal for birders of all skill levels. Preregistration is not necessary. Four-trip special: $42 members, $51 nonmembers. Trips need not be consecutive for special price. Registration is not required.
