Meeting Location: Cashman Park Boat Ramp at the end of Sally Snyder Way off Merrimac Street in Newburyport. Each winter, Bald Eagles from northern New England move south to the lower Merrimack River which provides perfect, winter habitat for these majestic birds. These spectacular birds soar high over the water and then stoop to secure prey with their sharp talons. Join Newburyport Birders for biscotti & hot chocolate as we discuss the Merrimack River’s protected islands and the field marks of the Bald Eagle. We’ll begin our search for our national symbol on foot; then we’ll carpool to several sites along the river. Dress in layers and wear warm, waterproof boots. FOCUS ON SEABIRDS Cape Ann, which projects far out into the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the best locations along the New England coast to see seabirds during the winter. Many species of sea ducks, loons, grebes, and gulls feed and seek shelter in the cape’s many coves and inlets and in the protected harbors. We expect to see a good variety of ducks as well as the Iceland gull, red-necked grebe, and red-throated loon in Gloucester Harbor and at Eastern Point. Alcids, such as razorbill and black guillemot, can often be seen along Atlantic Road or flying past Andrews Point. Andrews Point is also one of the best places to see the spectacular harlequin duck, and for the past several years a king eider has been present. Northern gannets are relatively common, especially after storms, and can be observed plunge diving for fish. The purple sandpiper, our hardiest shorebird, feeds on the surfsplashed rocks. Cape Ann is magnificent in winter! We hope that you can join us. Sun, Feb 25, 2018 9:00 am - 12:30 pm, Meet at the Fishermen’s Memorial on Western Avenue, Gloucester.

OUR BOY: NEWBURYPORT’S FIRST WWI CASUALTY FINDS HIS WAY HOME Bethany Groff Dorau first encountered Marine Corps Private Eben Bradbury in 2014, when a strange coincidence brought them together.
