Montclair Bird Club will be visiting Cape Ann in Massachusetts again this year. This February outing is a two-and-a-half–day trip through the Cape Ann peninsula (Amesbury, Gloucester, Rockport, Plum Island, Bass Rocks, and more). It’s a cold and windy trip that often turns up some very interesting birds, including white-winged gulls, alcids, scoters and other ducks, both loons, or snowy and short-eared owls. Keep an eye on our website for an announcement of further details and sign up then.
