Instructors: Bill Gette - Joppa Flats Sanctuary Director; Susan Hardy - Birder's Certificate Program graduate
Audience: Adult
Fee: Adults $35.00m/ $45.00nm The fall is a wonderful time of year to observe birds along the rocky coast of Cape Ann. Large numbers of migrant seabirds pass by Halibut and Andrews points and seek shelter in the cape’s many coves.
During our field trip, we will visit Halibut, Andrews, and Eastern points; Brace Cove, Niles Pond, and the Gloucester Harbor area. Target species will include the red-throated loon, red-necked grebe, harlequin duck, black guillemot, and three species of scoters. In previous years, we have seen razorbills migrating southward along the outer cape at this time of year. Instructions and Directions: Meet at the Fisherman's Statue on Western Avenue in Gloucester. Wear warm clothing and sturdy walking shoes. Bring binoculars, snacks, and a lunch. Registration is required. Register by mail: program registration form. (PDF 66K)
