Description
Explore the coves, cracks, crannies, beaches, and thickets of Cape Ann looking for a perfect storm of birdlife. From seabirds to waterfowl, sparrows and shorebirds, Cape Ann has it all. If you have never seen a flock of harlequin ducks, a plethora of purple sandpipers, or searched for that elusive King Eider in a flock of scoters, well, what are you waiting for?
There will be roughly two to three miles of walking throughout the day with frequent stops. The terrain will be mostly level; sand is to be expected, roots and rocks may be in the paths.
Open to adults and anyone aged 16-17 accompanied by an adult.

Instructions
Meet at Drumlin Farm, where we will travel together in Mass Audubon vans. We'll stop for lunch, not included in fee, at a location to be determined depending on which species we target. Participants are also invited to bring their own lunch. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes. We recommend bringing a water bottle, bug spray, and sunscreen. Bring your own optics or ask in advance to borrow a pair of ours. We will provide a large spotting scope for all to share.
