Join us on Saturday, January 31, from 9 to 11:30 AM for a Waterfowl Safari along the shores of Vineyard Sound.

Birding enthusiast Molly Cornell will take us to the best spots for viewing wintering ducks, mergansers, and geese in the salt water inlets that lace the shore of Vineyard Sound. We’ll also search for loons, grebes, rafts of sea ducks and whatever else is out there.

Meet in the parking lot at the entrance to Falmouth Harbor on the east side (Falmouth Yacht Club side). We’ll carpool from there to several birding hot spots, depending on where the water is open.

Birders of all ages and experience levels are welcome! Dress for the weather. Bring water, a snack, and binoculars and/or telescope if you have them. Driving rain, sleet or snow will cancel.

If programs and rewards motivate you, consider signing up for our 300-mile challenge. Hike 100, 200 or 300 miles in Falmouth's conservation lands and receive commemorative pins and a f***y pack. (Of course, the real rewards are the many physical and mental benefits of walking in natural lands.)
