Description

During this lecture, students will embark on a photographic excursion from the rocky headlands of Cape Ann, through historic Essex, to the expansive saltmarshes of the Plum Island Estuary and the barrier island beaches at the mouth of the Merrimack River. We will see beautiful scenery and an incredible variety of wildlife that not only survives but prospers during our harsh New England winters. Maps will be shared with students so you plan a winter adventure on your own. You will also be shown examples of the wildlife typical of each location on our virtual itinerary, including Harlequin Duck, Long-tailed Duck, Snowy Owl, Lapland Longspur, White-winged Crossbill, and many more.

 

Since 1986, Bill Gette, Founding Director of Mass Audubon’s Joppa Flats Education Center in Newburyport, has been introducing people to the exciting world of birds through his Introduction to Birdwatching workshops.
