Birding The New Hampshire Coast

New Hampshire's 18-mile seacoast is often overlooked as a winter birding destination, which is unfortunate. There are many excellent sites along the coast (e.g., sheltered bays and estuaries, rocky coastlines, freshwater ponds, and salt marshes) that support large numbers of seabirds and waterfowl. During our program, we will explore the Great Bay, the largest saltwater bay on the east coast--an excellent place to see waterfowl and a reliable place for wintering bald eagles. From the Great Bay, we will work our way south along the coast, stopping at New Castle near the mouth of the Piscataqua River, Odiorne Point State Park, Rye Harbor State Park, and many other very productive sites. Throughout our New Hampshire adventure, we expect to see large numbers of loons, grebes, diving and dabbling ducks, and wintering gulls.
