In Search of Rare Birds

Description

Where are we going? We do not know yet.

This all-day adventure goes after the rarest birds within a two-hour drive of Newburyport, and the destination is chosen that morning based on the latest bird sighting reports.

That might mean New Hampshire for winter finches like Pine Grosbeaks, Red and White-winged Crossbills, and Common Redpolls, the South Shore for an uncommon gull such as an Ivory Gull, or central Massachusetts for boreal species such as Canada Jay.

This is your chance to cross a rare bird of your life list.
