Birding the South Shore

Description

Discover the beauty of the south shore as spring migrating birds flock to its diverse habitats. We will explore the areas of Burrage Pond and Manomet, searching thickets for chats, fields for sparrows, and forests for early warblers and woodpeckers. Along the coastline, we'll keep watch for a variety of ducks and coastal waterfowl, rounding out what promises to be an impressive and ever-growing species list.
