Birding by Habitat: Salt Marshes

Salt marshes rank among the most ecologically productive habitats in Massachusetts, and for birds, they are irreplaceable. Explore the tidal rhythms and the physical structure of salt marsh ecosystems, learning which species—Saltmarsh Sparrows, Willets, Clapper Rails, and American Black Ducks—depend on these habitats for nesting and foraging.

Learn how salt marshes are being reshaped by sea level rise and invasive species, and how restoration efforts are helping.

This program is part of the Birding by Habitat Online Series. Each session stands alone, but if you register for the whole series before it starts on October 6, you get all six sessions for the price of five. Other session topics include urban landscapes, woodlands, grasslands and more.

Recordings will be sent to registrants after the program.
