The Mass Audubon Society’s Joppa Flats Education Center, Newburyport is offering a series of Wednesday evening birding field trips from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Join Joppa Flats Sanctuary Director Bill Gette to look for the tremendous variety of both migrant and resident bird species on Plum Island and the Newburyport vicinity.

Each evening, we will focus on a particular theme, covering such topics as bird migration, adaptations, taxonomy, habitat niches, birding strategies, and more. During these programs, we will explore the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, the Merrimack River, and other extremely productive birdwatching sites in the area.

Expect beautiful birds, good conversation, a few laughs, and (we hope) spectacular sunsets!

Location: Meet at Mass Audubon’s Joppa Flats Education Center, One Plum Island Turnpike, Newburyport, MA.
Fee: $10 for Mass Audubon members; $12 for non-members.
Audience: Adults

Pre-registration is not required.

Please bring binoculars and a field guide.

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.

This is the sixteenth year of the Wednesday Morning Birding program!

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 the programs will be the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge (Plum Island), the Merrimack River estuary, and other productive areas in Essex County. 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. We do not meet in July.

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.
