The Wednesday Morning Birding program provides an excellent opportunity to explore the Greater Newburyport region, one of the most productive birding areas in the country. To date, over 300 species of birds have been seen and identifies on these Wednesday field trips.

The focus of the Wednesday Morning Birding program will be the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge (Plum Island), the Merrimack River estuary, Cape Ann, and other productive areas in Essex County.

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.

This program is ideal for birders of all skill levels. Preregistration is not necessary. Four-trip special: $36 for members, $45 nonmembers. Trips need not be consecutive for special price.
