In the Newburyport area, we will bird the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Salisbury Beach State Reservation, and the Merrimack River. On Cape Ann, we will visit Halibut, Andrews, and Eastern points; several areas along Atlantic Avenue; and the Brace Cove/Niles Pond area. Target bird species will include the snowy owl, northern shrike, Lapland longspur, snow bunting, harlequin duck, and other sea ducks, loons, and grebes. This is a great way to start the new year!
