Coastal Shorebirds - Saturday August 31st  6:00 am

Join Ben Griffith for a trip along the New Hampshire Seacoast to look for shorebirds and coastal migrants.  Late August is a great time to familiarize yourself with the diversity of shorebirds that migrate from the Arctic along the North American Coastline.  This trip will be primarily car-based with limited walking along the beach.  We'll work our way north from Hampton to Rye stopping at various hotspots along the way.  Carpooling is encouraged as some places may have parking fees.  We'll meet at the Hampton Park and Ride on Timber Swamp Road at 6:00 am for an early start to beat the Labor Day weekend crowds.  

The trip is limited to 12 participants. As the event nears, please revisit the Seacoast Chapter site to sign-up.
