Cape Ann and the Newburyport/Plum Island, MA, areas are prime winter birding locations. We will spend Saturday on Cape Ann's shoreline looking for white-winged gulls, wintering sea ducks such as Harlequins, scoters, eiders and loons as well as other winter visitors like Purple Sandpipers and Guillemot. Sunday will be spent at Newburyport and Plum Island searching for more sea birds, Harriers, Snowy Owl, etc. Monday morning is catch up time where we will pick up any spots and target species missed. Plan for 2-3 nights in a motel. By Club policy, this overnight trip is for members with non-members accommodated if room is available and with the leader's approval. Contact Bernie Grossman by January 20 to reserve a spot and for housing information. HMBC members will find the coordinator's email address and phone number in the Members’ Directory on this site.
