Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary — 291 Us-6, South Wellfleet, MA
Think winter is a slow season for birds on Cape Cod? Think again. Ducks, loons, and grebes crowd the open water from midwinter into early spring, and a Wellfleet Bay naturalist will get you close to them, first at the sanctuary and then wherever the birding is best that morning. You'll learn to tell one diving duck from the next by shape, posture, and behavior, and pick up the habits that make winter waterbirds so rewarding to watch. Be prepared to caravan from the sanctuary, since the best birds move with the weather. Expect to walk up to 1.5 miles. Part of the morning takes place at the sanctuary and part at nearby birding spots reached by car. More details on what to bring and expect will be emailed to you ahead of the program.
