Wednesday Evening Shorebirding

Each Wednesday evening in August, we will introduce participants to the wonderful diversity of shorebirds that migrate through the Newburyport/Plum Island area during the late summer. The field trips are designed to provide participants with the tools to identify Massachusetts shorebirds and to deliver an in-depth understanding of the biology and ecology of these fascinating animals. Participants will observe various migration schedules and the relative abundance of these birds. Each week we will focus on several species, discussing their identifying characteristics, behavior, habitat preferences, and range. Registration is not required.
