Boston Birding ?
Hi , just looking for any info on birding in the general Boston area.
I am going over to a family wedding at the end of november and decided to stay on a few days to get some birding in , was over there 3 years ago and i did some birding out at Cape Cod. Any info on any other spots around the area would be most welcome , i will have a hire car so can travel a bit if required. Thanks Tac

Here's a website with more info about the area north of Boston (Essex County): http://www.essexheritage.org/birding/
After thinking about it, I think the Cape Ann area (Rockport/Gloucester) would be difficult for a visitor to bird, because the best areas are on private property and not that easy to find, plus you need to know the ins and outs so you don't offend people. But Parker River National Wildlife Refuge/Plum Island would definitely be worth a visit. Overall, late November is one of the slow periods for birding in the area, but there's always something. I'll send you a private message about some other matters. Best, Jim
