The slow-flowing Ipswich River is a magical place to view wetland breeding birds. We'll meander up and down the river making frequent stops to look and listen for Virginal Rail, Sora, Yellow-throated Vireo, Great-crested Flycatcher, and many other species that raise their young in nests and tree cavities along the river. The canoes will allow us to venture deep into the freshwater marsh for a peaceful experience that combines birdwatching and boating.
Meets in front of the Visitor Center. All equipment will be provided. Participants should have some canoeing experience and be able to walk a half mile on uneven terrain. Wear footwear appropriate for muddy trails. Bring a water bottle, binoculars and a drybag for personal items, if you have one.
