North River Wildlife Sanctuary — 2000 Main St., Marshfield, MA

All aboard! We're loading up the van and heading out to local hotspots across the South Shore, finding birds from the comfort of a shared vehicle while stopping occasionally for short, level-ground looks at whatever has caught everyone's eye. A naturalist guide points out species and shares identification tips as the landscape rolls by. October delivers exceptional birding, featuring fall shorebird migration with Black-bellied Plovers, Dunlin, Semi-palmated Sandpipers, Sanderlings, and more. With sessions every month, this program welcomes nature lovers of all experience levels for a genuinely fun, sociable, and accessible way to explore bird life. Meet in the Nature Center. Be ready to travel by van to local birding destinations. Occasional short walks on level ground may be included if something interesting appears nearby.
