Winter Birds of Nantucket Sound
For birdwatchers, bird lovers, and nature lovers, winter may be the Cape’s most exciting season of all!
Join the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound for a fascinating ACONS (A Celebration of Nantucket Sound) webinar with prominent naturalist and educator John Hanlon as we explore the remarkable winter bird species that migrate south each year to Cape Cod, the Islands, and Nantucket Sound. Just in time for the winter months ahead! From colorful waterfowl and diving ducks to loons, grebes, and other coastal birds, the Cape & islands become a seasonal refuge for wildlife that breeds far to the north. As John puts it, “Winter on the Cape is like Florida for them!”
