Presented by the Cape Cod Bird Club
An outer Cape adventure!
The outer Cape during fall migration can be an amazing place to bird, as songbirds heading south stop in for fuel. Weather can also play a role, bringing in vagrants and rarities.
With many tourists vacating after Labor Day, the Cape becomes more manageable and more beautiful. Less traffic, late summer breezes, and whales just offshore could make it the perfect quick getaway.
We’ll walk the beautiful loop trail through mixed habitat for songbird activity and scan the marsh for incoming shorebirds, herons, egrets, and possibly a bittern or rail on the high tide.
A few pairs of loaner binoculars are available—please email us in advance. Free.
Spaces limited. Please register in advance! We will notify you about changes due to weather.
New birders and the merely bird curious are welcome on this walk. It’s a great one! See you out there!
TRAILS
Expect 2 miles of easily navigable hard pack trail with mixed elevation. High tide 9:04 AM. Long pants are recommended.
FACILITIES
We recommend bringing a water bottle.
Founded in 1971, the Cape Cod Bird Club has been a cornerstone of the Massachusetts birding and conservation community for over 50 years. Originally a gathering of local enthusiasts, the Club has grown into a dynamic organization offering dozens of free field trips, lectures, and educational programs throughout the year that bring people together to enjoy and protect the natural areas of the Cape.
Join us for a walk as we look for birds in stunning, off-the-beaten-path locations—salt marshes, barrier beaches, kettle ponds—places most people overlook. You’ll start to appreciate the Cape and its wildlife differently. [LINK]
