Location: Cape Ann

The fall migration of seabirds along the coast will be underway, and the Cape Ann area provides outstanding lookouts for viewing a great variety of birds. Long lines of cormorants and skeins of scoters and common eiders sweep by the granite cliffs on their passage south. In past years we have also seen grebes, gannets, harlequin ducks, red-throated loons, kittiwakes, razorbills, and purple sandpipers. We will work our way around Cape Ann, stopping at a number of productive birding spots in Gloucester and Rockport including Gloucester Harbor, Eastern Point, Niles Pond, Halibut Point, and more.

Instructions and Directions: Meets at Endicott Wildlife Sanctuary in Wenham for van transportation or carpooling. Directions and information on what to bring will be sent. Rain date: Sunday, November 22.
