The Cape Ann and Newburyport/Plum Island, MA, areas are prime winter birding locations. We expect to divide our time between Cape Ann’s shoreline and Newburyport/Plum Island looking for white-winged gulls, wintering sea ducks such as Harlequins, scoters, eiders and other winter visitors like Purple Sandpipers, loons, grebes, alcids, field birds, Snowy Owls, etc. Participants will have Friday to travel at their leisure so that we can begin birding as a group first thing Saturday morning. Limit 8 participants. By Club policy, this overnight trip is for members, with non-members accommodated if room is available and with the leader’s approval.

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Contact Gregg Recer by January 21st to reserve a spot and for hotel reservation information.
