Along the Massachusetts coast, rocky peninsulas dotted with small lush woodlands and meadows jut out into the Atlantic flyway. Migrating birds, hungry and thirsty from their travels, sometimes drop in for a caterpillar snack and hand around for a rest. Usually, it’s just a few birds, but sometimes it’s dozens, or hundreds—or more. When that happens, it’s birder nirvana.

If you are lucky enough to experience a fallout, it is not something you will soon forget.

Join us as we check in on three or maybe four locations near Marblehead and Nahant that can be good bets for neotropical fallout. If you want to hear some incredible singing, get up early, play hooky, and join us!

When we talk about awe, we’re sometimes thinking about the fallout.

Free. Binoculars available. Beginners are always welcome but this trip can be a challenge and cutting out early may be difficult as we may need to carpool to certain locations.

Spaces are limited to a smaller than usual group to reduce community impact and parking issues.
