Description
The weather has cooled, and many birds should have gone far south for winter, but some of the most colorful fall birds have been arriving over the last few weeks to spend the winter here offshore in the saltwater around Cape Cod or on our freshwater lakes and ponds. How can these birds survive the frigid and icy waters? Why do some dabble, and others dive? We will search along some local waterways for 'Skunkheads', 'bluebills', and some crazy divers.

Instructions
Your expert birder and naturalist will be Chris Walz, Property Manager at Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary. Chris will be communicating further details, including meeting location, as well as any changes to your trip via email, so please ensure that you have provided us with a current email address that is checked on a regular basis.
What to bring: In general, please dress for the weather (layers, sunscreen, hats, good walking shoes) bring water and appropriate amounts of food for your comfort depending on the length of the outing. A good set of binoculars is also recommended. Accommodations: Most of the field trips are designed to include leisurely hikes on flat but uneven terrain and sand. We will be meeting at birding locations and using personal vehicles.
Please reach out to Chris with any mobility concerns in advance so that we can make accommodations as needed.
