Description
Massachusetts' North Shore is a wonderful place to observe ducks, geese, and swans, a group of birds collectively known as waterfowl. Many species are migratory and have returned to our area from their northern breeding grounds. We'll focus on waterfowl, but of course, leaders will stop for anything interesting. Birdwatching venues will include the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Cherry Hill Reservoir, Merrimack River, and Salisbury Beach State Reservation.

Instructions
This is the make-up date from the November 23 session.
Meet at Joppa Flats Education Center, 1 Plum Island Turnpike, Newburyport, MA. From there we will travel by Mass Audubon vans and carpool.
Bring binoculars, a field guide to birds, and a scope if you have one. Wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather and terrain. Participants should expect to walk trails with moderate terrain changes at a slow pace, for a mile or more.
Mass Audubon and the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge encourage carpooling to reduce the number of vehicles inside the refuge. Our program passes cover our vans and carpooling, but not individual one-person vehicles within the caravan. Participants who choose not to carpool by driving without at least one passenger will be asked to cover the $5 fee at our front desk during registration. Thank you for helping to reduce the impact of vehicular traffic at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
