Description
Join one of New England's most renowned weekly birding programs. Every Wednesday, experienced guides lead birders of all skill levels to the hottest spots in one of Massachusetts' most productive birding regions: Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, the Merrimack River estuary, and other prime Essex County locations.
Each week offers something different as species shift with the seasons, giving participants an unmatched window into the full arc of bird migration.
September 2026 marks the program's 30th anniversary—a remarkable milestone for a series that has introduced thousands of birders to the treasures of the North Shore.
