The Mass Audubon Society’s Joppa Flats Education Center offers a Wednesday Morning Birding program from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

If you’re one of the lucky ones that has time available during the week, join Bill Gette, Joppa Flats Sanctuary Director and Dave Weaver, Birder’s Certificate Program graduate for this weekly birding field trip in the Newburyport/Plum Island area. Appropriate for all birding levels.

It’s a great way to observe birds in the area and identify some of the better locations for finding them when on your own.

These very popular programs provide an excellent opportunity to explore one of the most productive birding areas in the country. To date, over 310 species of birds on these Wednesday field trips.

These field trips explore birding hot spots in the Newburyport/Plum Island area. The focus is on the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge (Plum Island), the Merrimack River estuary, Cape Ann, and other productive areas in Essex County. When appropriate, we will adjust our itinerary to search for rarities reported in the area.
