We'll look for wintering Bald Eagles, Sea Ducks, Raptors and more along the Merrimack River.
Bring binoculars, a field guide to birds, and a spotting scope if you have one. Wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather and terrain. Participants should expect to walk trails with minimal terrain changes at a slow pace.
