Ducks-R-Us

At the end of March, the coastal waters, rivers, and lakes of Massachusetts' North Shore are wonderful places to observe ducks. Most of the species that have wintered here are still present, and many early migrants have returned to our area. Under favorable conditions, over 20 species of ducks can be observed. During a previous trip, we saw 21 species of ducks and two species of geese.
On this all-day adventure, we will bird the Plum Island estuary, the Merrimack River, Cherry Hill Reservoir, and many sites on Cape Ann in hopes of finding these beautiful birds. Target species will include harlequin duck, Barrow's goldeneye, three species of scoter, and many more.
