Signs of Spring on Sandy Neck

Description

Sandy Neck awakens in April as Ospreys return to rebuild their bulky stick nests atop poles. Endangered Piping Plovers scour the vast beach for the ideal spot to scratch their simple nests. Rare Spadefoot Toads rush to breed in ephemeral pools in the dunes. A Mass Audubon naturalist and a Sandy Neck Ranger will be your guides through this spectacular landscape.
