Winter Birding Trip to Plum Island January 29, 2011

Winter can be a great time to go birdwatching. Leave the driving to us as we explore the winter birds in several Important Bird Areas (IBAs) along the coast of Massachusetts. We'll explore Plum Island, a birding hot spot and part of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, in search of waterfowl that are attracted to this area. Also be on the lookout for shrikes, snowy owls, and snow buntings. We will make a brief stop at Mass Audubon's Joppa Flats Education Center to check local sightings. Registration is required. Call 508-753-6087 for details. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=233-BM11WI1 for more information.
