Description
The concentration of ducks - migrating and resident - can reach peak numbers in Rhode Island. This trip will expand your appreciation for ducks and provide an opportunity to practice your ID skills. With the potential to find over 20 species, we can appreciate the variety of plumage, behavior, and shapes they exhibit as well as the habitats they frequent. We will explore ponds, coves, the Barrington River, and Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge scanning for waterfowl everywhere we go, including breathtaking flocks of Harlequin Ducks.
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. 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.
